Formscan - It has been a long time between drinks in this sphere for BORN TO PLEASE but her most recent second at Leicester hinted that she may be about to return to winning ways. The winner of that contest has gone in again since and she may have too much for the consistent Never No Trouble and Eventful, who scored comfortably at Southwell in November. Others to note include Kentford Mallard, Sawpit Sienna and Tintern Abbey.
