Razzam finished third of only four runners at Bath on last summer’s debut while Constitution also returns from a lay-off having been gelded and has a shout on an earlier second at Newbury. The step up to 7f proved beyond ANNIE GALE last time but she’d finished behind a subsequent winner over course and distance before that and gets another chance in this. Falcon and Ghost Lights are related to numerous winners and are newcomers to note.
