Dark Wonder finally got off the mark at Thirsk last time when just getting the better of CHARLOTTE'S SECRET. But the latter should be sharper for that seasonal debut and can turn the tables on today's revised terms. Agadoo won easily at Leicester back in October but the handicapper has taken no chances and she is 12lb higher on her return while a 5lb rise proved beyond Wetherby winner Snappy Guest at Windsor last time. Looking Good looks stuck on her present mark but Kawaii may be capable of better now handicapping having been beaten only a length at Beverley recently.
