Hieronymus finally opened his account when successful over track and trip last month and may figure again. Phoenix Star won over 6f here back in November and Rich Approach has been thereabouts at Newcastle recently while Kodiline landed a claimer at Wolverhampton earlier. Furqaan has plenty of scope on her handicap debut and second start for new connections but a chance is taken on WAQAAS. The latter has tumbled down the weights since this time last year and a better effort in a higher grade here last time points to a big run today.
