Verdict
Mulan made a winning start in handicaps when successful at Leicester but further improvement is needed raised 5lb. ASCENDED returned from an absence to win a novices' race at Wolverhampton, despite getting loose on the way to post. The Haggas filly should make a bold bid handicapping for the first time along with She's Got You, who never threatened when third at Salisbury on her reappearance. Zofelle races in a tongue-tie for the first time having failed to get involved at York last time while Aubretia has no easy task on her first start since November.
