Zeus Magic and Lion Beacon step up in trip having both ended last year with victories over a mile. Forced Family Fun beat subsequent winner Flying Tempo at Nottingham on his handicap debut while Grendisar also opened his account on his first start handicapping when winning at Lingfield. Corn Snow's maiden win came on the Fibresand but he's still preferred to stablemate Raven's Tower. Spillway has claims on his recent course win but, though JATHABAH is more exposed, the penny finally dropped with her last time when scoring by six lengths at Lingfield. Clive Brittain's filly looks capable of defying an 8lb rise and going in again.
