Asjad made a winning debut for a new yard at Redcar and has plenty of scope for further progress. Raatea finished ahead of Strike Red when third here on his reappearance and the latter was also beaten by Bickerstaffe at Ascot in October. Blackrod ended last season with a third in the Ayr Silver Cup having been beaten by First Folio at York earlier while JUMBY and Run To Freedom faced tough tasks in the Group 3 Abernant here on their return to action with the former coming out best of that pair in third. A winner over 7f here under William Buick last term, he gets another chance back in a handicap. Tactical represents last year’s winning yard and Tarhib makes her handicap debut.
