Tombe Girl went close at Southwell last time and can race of a similar mark today. Dream Revival was placed over longer trips here before returning a losing favourite last week and Ordinal makes his handicap debut after a modest effort at Southwell on his reappearance. Jumeirah Star was placed off a higher mark at Kempton last year and DAVID'S BEAUTY has been thereabouts over 5f of late. The latter has only won once in 16 starts but that's once more than the rest of this bunch put together and she gets a speculative vote.
