    Verdict

    Awesometank won a couple of decent handicaps last year and wasn’t disgraced in a Listed race at Newmarket when last in action. She’ll prove popular on her return while the likes of Vitamin and Mayyasah are better than their comeback efforts suggest with the former outclassed in the 1000 Guineas at Headquarters and the latter struggling over 6f at the same track. ZEST faded badly at Ascot last time but ran well at the All-Weather Championships before that and James Fanshawe’s filly gets another chance racing off the same mark as when winning at Lingfield in February. Mesquite and Hateya have been winning lower grade handicaps and Seduce Me is another with something to prove at this level.
