How many of these will actually face the starter is anybody's guess as both Sky Calling and Hi Ho Silvia held alternative engagements last night. Pickworth beat WITH GRACE over C&D last month but Peter Bowen's mare is now 4lb better off and would have got a lot closer had she not paddled through the last that day. She can gain her revenge and makes more appeal than stablemate Dipity Doo Dah, who is now tried in a visor. A Nun With A Gun is best watched following a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
