I AM MIMI looks on a workable opening handicap mark and can strike for Gavin Cromwell. Katakana ran well in a chase when last seen in the autumn and retains unexposed potential for Henry de Bromhead. Order of The Dance, runner-up on both starts in handicaps, and Ross O'Sullivan handicap newcomer W B Easy also make the shortlist.
