Rita The Cheetah has been off the track since making a winning start over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton back in October and is penalised on her return. Mahale went close over 5f here on her reappearance and should confirm running with Passionova but MUMMY BEAR is preferred. The latter finished in front of a subsequent winner when runner-up over course and distance last time and Ryan Moore can steer her home. Rosie Powers and Just Amber are newcomers to note.
