Ocean Drive made a successful debut at Lingfield in January, with Nurse Nightingale back in third, but couldn't land the odds in a handicap on a return visit a couple of weeks later and has been raised 2lb. JIVE TALKING improved with each run in her first campaign and makes her handicap debut from what could prove a fair mark. Mirzam made a successful handicap debut over 1m4f on ground with some give at Chepstow and may not have the pace for this but Waves, who easily won a mile Bath handicap, was staying on over that trip in a better race at Leicester. Prize Diva had shown little before a better effort at Sandown
