Powered makes a quick reappearance after finishing runner-up at Leicester on Monday though that was in a seller. Avocadeau won a Bath handicap at this level over the trip but didn't run as well from 3lb higher at Brighton a few days later. ZUBAIDAH was a 50/1 chance when landing a Yarmouth handicap on fast ground over this trip. The runner-up has won subsequently so there was no fluke about the victory and she can follow up. Cold Fusion easily won a much better handicap than this at Newmarket last summer but went up 9lb and hasn't won since. She's now dropped to a very lowly mark and has only been beaten a neck in her last two starts so has to be on the shortlist. Dark Phantom is 0-26 but hails from a yard firing them in and ran much better at Kempton last week.
