FENNAAN looked to have the scope to go on to better things after his victory at Newbury in September and can make a successful return in what looks a decent contest. Pak Choi is making very good progress and had no problems landing a course and distance handicap last time so looks a threat, as does Magnificent. The latter did well in two strong maidens last summer and should improve while Sod's Law was a 50/1 chance when just failing to catch Rusper over a mile here in December and is another certain to make progress. Deva Dandy and Pilot Wings are newcomers to note as both are related to a host of winners.
