Verdict
INVINCIBLE HERO showed good progress when stepped up to today's trip last season. He won three times and ended the year with a close-up third at Newmarket off today's mark. Declan Carroll's charge is taken to make a winning return to action as Blues Jazz did all his wining last year over shorter trips. Aquarian Spirit won last year's renewal and is worth considering as he was scoring at Lingfield in January, while Elijah Pepper can race off a lower mark back on the turf, although he's difficult to win with nowadays. Abidhabidubai and Fazza are others with claims on their seasonal debuts as they both look capable of scoring off their current marks.
