Moraawed has only raced on the all-weather, staying on when beaten narrowly on his reappearance at Kempton. From a yard in top form he could be well treated for his handicap debut. PRINCESS POWER, four times a winner in her first campaign, looked as good as ever on her return at Thirsk where she found 5f on the short side. She's up 2lb but can go in again. Dazzling Dan came here for a soft-ground maiden in November and won impressively so any further rain would greatly aid his cause while Hafeet Alain is the other course and distance winner in the line-up and he wasn't suited by Chester on his final start. Fastman looks best of David O'Meara's pair having won twice last season before a reasonable run in a York Listed contest. Excelled began her career with a victory so the lack of a recent run shouldn't be a problem.
