Most of these can have a case made for them but let's hope that INCLUDED is ready to roll after an absence of over 300 days on this first start for the Ralph operation. A winner on the level for Prince Khalid Abdullah, she looked a fair hurdling recruit in three starts for David Dennis and looks on a decent mark for her new yard to work with, moving into handicaps relatively unexposed. Stepover is also back after a break and this consistent performer can never be confidently ruled out, whilst Ambre Des Marais has claims if finding the form which saw her complete an autumn hat-trick last season. She's Gina is a player too, along with Green Or Black who comes here after a sharpener on the Flat recently.
