Several of these have dropped down the ratings due to indifferent form including course and distance winner Hitman, who looks back on a fair mark. Coverham won four times last year and couldn't have gone much closer at Chelmsford when beaten a short-head but it's time SOPHIA MARIA (NAP) was winning. James Bethell's filly ran very well at Ripon last summer and was returning from a long break when caught close home in a novices' event at Pontefract last month. Knowing Glance is back on the same mark as when successful at Carlisle a year ago but Exchequer, six times a winner on the all-weather, is 0-18 on Turf.
