Zuffolo placed twice here last year and remains unexposed. Mistamac was only a length behind Herakles at Newcastle in December and is 4lb better off but, from a poor draw, MISS BRAZEN ran well at Thirsk nine days ago having a first run since October. She won twice as a juvenile and looks to have trained on. Tasever should find a race or two this year having been gelded but Azucena may be best on the all-weather.
