A maiden winner at Bath, Imtiyaaz ran well enough for second on her handicap debut at Nottingham and has more scope than most. Mia San Triple has slid down the weights and could bounce back at any time while Lady Horatia was placed off a higher mark over track and trip last summer. GUISHAN has been competing in tougher sprints than this and won at Chelmsford when last seen in this grade. Progressive last year with five wins, Mike Appleby's mare may well up to carrying top weight to victory. Bimbo has yet to win a handicap but may do better in this lower grade and looks best of the remainder.
