Beyond Conceit won his maiden over today's distance in heavy going at Haydock in October and has to come into the reckoning on his return to action but AHZEEMAH makes more appeal. He was just held by Main Sequence at Newmarket last week and can race off the same mark today. Rocktherunway finished runner-up in soft ground at Beverley recently and is preferred to Warwick winner Verse Of Love as the latter steps up in trip here although a handful of less exposed types from powerful yards complicate matters. Ogaritmo and Deia Sunrise are maiden winners who may well figure, while Counsel and Scrupul are also open to improvement on their handicap debuts.
