Verdict
Copper Cavalier scored here in December but has not raced January while China Excels has been raised 7lb for winning over 5f at Leicester last month. Saffire Song was runner-up off a slightly higher mark over track and tip in June and is closely matched with Bilash on latest running but the lightly raced AZERELLE has more scope than most and may come out best having finished closer over 5f here on her handicap bow. Sunrise Dance looks best of the rest.
