Minstrel Lad won a Newmarket handicap last summer from just 2lb lower though may prefer softer ground. Kyllachykov was never in the hunt on his hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton in January but has been given a break and is much better than that. BEACON LADY ended the last campaign with a fine effort over this trip on heavy ground at Brighton having won over a mile there earlier. She's the type to do well this season and can make a successful return. Descaro has won two moderate events over hurdles recently so at least is fit enough but Akarana is having his first start on Turf and has never raced beyond 1m1f.
