9th	7	—	Lady Henrietta (M) Got off the mark at Leicester in December and followed it with a good third at Ffos Las in January. Rare poor effort there 104 days ago and she's the sort to bounce back after a break.	22F13P-	Elliott England B Pauling	6	68.9kg	4.33 10/3
—	8	—	For Old Times Sake (G) T Fair maiden who has failed to kick on since sent handicapping, pulled up at Hereford (2m) last month. Significantly up in trip. Tongue tie added.	87869P-	H Cobden N P Mulholland	5	68.9kg	9 8/1
