Hannah's Return was having her first start since May when scoring over 7f here in October but has yet to race over the minimum trip. Rockley Point finished fourth here earlier when in front of Nellie French, Suanni and GUSTAV GRAVES with the latter running below par from a wide draw. Derek Shaw's charge is more favourably drawn today and gets another chance having been beaten only a head over track and trip earlier.
