Hallalulu ended last season with a double and is 7lb higher on her return. Emma Point won at Wolverhampton last month and is upped in class while better was expected from New Jazz at Newmarket on her handicap debut but she could only manage fifth. DUBRAVA went close over 7f in novice company on a couple of occasions last year. But she’s bred for middle-distances and may well be good enough on her reappearance given Roger Varian’s yard can get one ready for action. Sweet Charity is not without a chance dropping down in class and is preferred to Comeonfeeltheforce and Chicago Doll, who have recently placed on the all-weather.
