Pheidippides won here in March and drops back down in class on his return from a lay-off while Come On Tier landed a seller here earlier in the year but was well beaten back in a handicap last time. Kitcarina failed to figure at Chester having scored at Kempton earlier but Merweb is back on the same mark as when successful at Newcastle last year. DELICATE KISS (NAP) returns to this venue for the first time since winning by over four lengths over course and distance in February. A recent second at Sandown suggests she can return to winning ways and she’s preferred to the unexposed Glorious Jem.
