PUFF is well clear on official ratings and, as she scored on her juvenile debut and on her reappearance last season, a long break is no problem and her victory in the Fred Darling is comfortably the best form on offer. Wake Up Call is another who goes well fresh as she demonstrated last year when completing a hat-trick on her return from a winter break. Aneedah's lone victory came over a mile and she was disappointing at Haydock last time and though Glas Burn and Fleeting Echo are not out of this they look to have something to find.
