WAZIN continued his steady progress with a victory at Wolverhampton last month and there should be more to come from her. She gets a tentative vote in an open contest. Spring Romance was raised 12lb for an earlier win at Wolverhampton but still ran well for second back at the same track last time while Jaalboot should be sharper for a recent comeback at Chelmsford and makes his handicap debut. Royal Household competed in better company without success last year but has slipped down the handicap as a consequence.
