Frankie partners SHAAN for the first time for his retainers, his only ride on the card. The latter won a Kempton maiden race in January with a couple of subsequent winners filling the places. Mise En Rose drops in class on her reappearance and finished well ahead of Sepal when third at Pontefract on her handicap debut while Auntinet landed her maiden at Lingfield at the end of last year and is another to consider. Lilly Vega and Indigo are course and distance winners but facing a tougher task on their return to action.
