COUNT OF LIMONADE makes his debut on the surface and didn't exactly set the world alight in his first campaign but he's still in the Derby and a better second season is expected. He can make a successful return, though Love And Cherish will be a threat if making the expected progress after her battling victory here in November. Wholeotofrosie is another having her first start on the surface and her only victory came on heavy ground though she's by no means out of this. Eusepio won a maiden here at the beginning of last month before beaten in a handicap four weeks later and needs to improve.
