Scandinavian Lady produced a jolt of improvement to battle home here when last seen but that was in January so a watching brief is advised. Hitman looks best of those to the head of the weights, the majority of whom are exposed and not in particularly good form. A Hundred Echoes will be popular as a lightly-raced Varian raider on handicap bow but may not offer much in the way of value and FIRSTEEN is preferred. A little below par last time, the Requninto filly has had a consistent time of things otherwise and Paul Hanagan is an eye-catching jockey booking. The Bull, Barbarosa and Midnight In Havana all have each-way claims.
