Partitia won a conditions race over 6f at Chester last season and makes her handicap debut but Jumira Bridge beat nothing of note in winning a maiden when long odds-on at Brighton. QUEEN IN WAITING won her handicap debut in good style over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton on her return to action and Mark Johnston’s filly is taken to defy a penalty and confirm running with Nayyar. Hyperfocus was aimed high last year only to disappoint at Kempton on his comeback but Blitz and Just An Idea have ben running well on the all-weather.
