This looks a fractionally better race that the first division but Essme appeared to find 6f too short at Windsor, though has had a wind operation since. Tilsworth Ony Ta is 0-16 on the all-weather but Liam Wright takes off a handy 7lb, though Fristel is weighted to reverse Bath running in the spring with the former and he did lead until the final furlong over course and distance when last seen. Ok Pal is another returning from a break but DARLO PRIDE got off the mark at Chelmsford in September and this race is no better.
