Yet another tricky handicap on a very competitive card. Several are unexposed and arrive off the back of victories so should have more to offer. Etaab made all to get off the mark at Lingfield and the third has won since. But she has a wide draw to overcome and is likely to face a battle for the lead with September's Chester winner Dynaglow, who is better drawn, and Chepstow runner-up Tullia. Joys of Spring could be interesting in her first handicap while easy Kempton winner Cameo Tiara and the returning Maria Bella have to go on the short-list. TEMPTRESS wasn't stopping when scoring over 7f here earlier in the month and should be suited by the extra furlong. She will need to improve to defy top weight but that can taken for granted given her profile. Stereo Love was still a bit keen when breaking her duck at Nottingham and has more to do here off a 4lb higher mark.
