CHEVAL BLANCHE returned to action with a cosy success on her handicap debut. There looks plenty more to come from her. Elusive Olivia landed a maiden race over 7f here and is another with lots of scope while Nick Vedder showed a big improvement when placed in a maiden at the track back in January. Dapper Man has changed yards having failed to score for Dermot Weld in Ireland last year but is preferred to the remainder including Chamasay, well beaten at Kempton on Wednesday.
