Sash found only one too good on his first two outings last year but looked ready for a step up in trip at Kempton in December. Moongazer made a winning start over 7f here in January but found couldn’t follow up at Kempton last month and again carries a penalty. FRAGRANT BELLE also carries extra but she missed the break here in September so did well to collar Wave Walker under a patient ride from Stevie Donohoe. The first two pulled clear and there should be more to come this year from Ralph Beckett’s filly. Dancingwithwolves is a likely improver while the Hannon newcomers Doughan Alb and Corncrake are worth monitoring for any market support.
