Freddie's Girl and Dancing Welcome can race off lower marks back on turf but will need to step up on their recent efforts on Polytrack. Dualagi makes more appeal on the evidence of her win at Wolverhampton in January, while Volcanic Dust and Dubai Affair are open to improvement on their return to action. YES WE CAN is another making her seasonal debut after three modest efforts in all-weather handicaps at the end of last year. However, she won her maiden over C&D before that and Jeremy Gask's filly looks on an exploitable mark on her return to the turf.
