Several return from lay-offs with a shout. Bonneval, Troll Peninsula and Shouldering all ended last year with victories on the Turf with the latter pair looking to have the stronger form though all three carry penalties. That should hand the advantage to MOUNT MARCY, who ran green at Wolverhampton on a recent debut but will have benefited for the experience and the Gosden yard remains in fine form. Asbaagh went close on her earlier debut at Lingfield and may prove best of the rest.
