        Verdict

        HIGHLY FOCUSSED returns from an absence but may still be good enough given he won four times last year including his first outing and this looks a weak handicap. Ann Duffield’s charge is preferred to Super Florence, who has just the one win in 23 starts, though finished in front of Bronze Beau when fourth over track and trip last time. Oriental Splendour looks no nearer winning despite tumbling down the weights and the remainder are even harder to recommend.
