Pioneering ended last year with a hat-trick but returns to action off an 8lb higher mark. Dawaaleeb completed a double on the all-weather with last month’s success at Newcastle and makes his handicap debut but Dance Teacher failed in her attempt at a treble back in January. Frankster won a maiden race over track and trip in October while Gulf Of Poets and Society Red drop back down in distance. But GIVE IT SOME TEDDY is one of the least exposed having gone close at Newmarket on his handicap debut in November and gets a tentative vote in something of a lottery.
