Ifan won over 1m2f here a week ago but is harder to recommend over this longer trip judged on his previous poor efforts. Flutterbee and Safira Menina won over course and distance last year but both race off higher marks as they return to action while China Girl was sent off favourite for her reappearance over 1m2f but came up short. HATSAWAY was rated 17lb higher at this time last year but never threatened at Kempton when fifth on his first start for new connections. But he should be sharper for that and gets a speculative vote to finally get his head in front off his current mark.
