HAALAN returned to action with a decent fourth in a conditions race at Ascot last week. Clive Brittain's filly gets a tentative vote in a wide-open contest ahead of the more exposed Hundi, a beaten favourite at Newmarket last time. Newbury fourth Vibe Queen and Irish raider Rivers Of Babylon are not out of this while Wardat Dubai and Neutron Bomb are other likely improvers. Plaisir and On High share the same handicap rating but both have plenty to find on today's terms with more than one of these.
