Mabela is 5lb lower than for her last victory and shouldn’t be far away if fully wound-up but Kestrel Valley has looked in the handicapper’s grip since scoring at Wincanton in December. MEGAUDAIS SPEED was returning from a very long absence when second at Exeter. He’s been lightly raced so may have more to offer and he drops into this grade for the first time. Frisco Bay is sure to be popular again as he’s been knocking on the door but Dubai Guest was a disappointing favourite here last month and is now tried in cheekpieces.
