Plenty of these with claims but the tentative vote goes to top weight PLACE IN MY HEART. She wasn't disgraced when beaten six lengths in the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar in October and is re-united with winning partner Jamie Spencer on her return. Supreme Quest hasn't raced for nearly a year now and Wolverhampton winner Exceedance makes more appeal on his seasonal bow while those with more recent form to look out for include Waseem Faris, who takes a drop in class and Charlotte Rosina, who won nicely at Windsor on her latest start. Beach Candy showed little on last week's reappearance but ended last season with a double and better is expected from her.
