Verdict

Novice winner CHIEF WHITE FACE could only manage third carrying a penalty and upped up to 6f last time. He gets another chance back over his winning trip on his handicap debut. Rum Cocktail returned a beaten favourite at Windsor on her handicap bow but that was her first start since October and she finished well ahead of Solotov. Willoughby Bay won over 6f here last year while Nordic Glory was winning handicaps on the all-weather early in the year but is 5lb higher than when last successful.
