METHAYEL scored twice over C&D in October last year and went close at Lingfield on her return to action with National Hope behind. She should be up to winning off her current mark this season and it could be today. Caramelita tries a longer trip after a frustrating run of placed efforts but she's closely matched with Basle on latest running while Olney Lass saves her best for this venue with three course wins, but is having her first start of the year. Cut The Cackle has so far proved best over shorter trips.
