This looks something of a lottery with the likes of Nogo's Dream, Naaser, Giant, Novus, Havana Blue and Finest Leader all open to improvement making their handicap debuts. HARRY MAGNUS won a novices event at Kempton in January with the runner-up going on to win at the All-Weather Championships and the third landing a double subsequently. Monopolise will be sharper for a recent comeback and Zabbie went close over track and trip in November so isn't out of this.
