Brandon ran below par at Kempton last time and may do better today back in a handicap with Ryan Moore on board. Diva D returns to action 7lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton last year while Molly Mai hasn’t raced since October. Beryl The Petal is usually thereabouts without winning but a couple of these go handicapping for the first time with IVORY CHARM preferred to Hanbury Dreams on last month’s close-up fourth at Southwell - Richard Fahey’s filly gets the vote on that form.
