Ajjaadd looks high enough in the weights though he had Rocker behind when fourth over C&D last month and can make the frame. Picabo seems best over 6f and Boragh Jamal is struggling to win off her current mark, but Grandmas Dream has won on the Polytrack here and is not easily dismissed. DUBAI AFFAIR found the 6f too far on her return to action at Bath but is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Kempton last year, Ron Harris' filly is fancied to kick start her season here with a victory.
