Carinya finished tailed off on her only start last year but Richard Hughes' presence on her reappearance points to a big run. Passion Play ended last season with victory at Bath and may figure on her return but Astra Hall remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Ffos Las last summer. HEADLINE NEWS also returns to action having signed off last season with a decent fifth in much better company than this. She'd won at Leicester before that and there should be more to come this year from Rae Guest's lightly-raced four-year-old. Play Street could prove best of the rest as she steps up in trip.
