Gold Filigree ended last year with a victory over 6f at Wolverhampton and Dotted Swiss returns to action having found only one too good over track and trip on her handicap debut back in November. Blessed To Empress also went close at Chelmsford in the same month while Warrior's Valley was beaten only a neck at Southwell attempting to land a hat-trick. But the latter finished behind runner-up SIR HECTOR here earlier and it’s Charlie Wallis’ charge that gets the vote to confirm running on better terms having scored over course and distance in January.
