Hallelujah won at the first time of asking in October last year and it would be no surprise if she's thereabouts at the finish on her reappearance. Little Curtsey also returns to action after scoring over 7f here in November, while something seemed to go amiss with Freckenham last time, but she'd been on an upward curve before that. Dubaianswer is dropped back in trip after a couple of disappointing efforts since winning over a mile here and preference goes to CHEVISE, who had won six of her previous seven outings on Polytrack before a couple of recent starts on turf and is only 1lb higher than the last time she won.
