There are question marks surrounding most of these at present with Caelis struggling of this mark in successive races since winning her maiden at Kempton and now tried in blinkers. Neither Madame Excelerate nor Crimson Queen showed much on their comeback runs while Loves Theme's only win so far came at a lower level on the Polytrack. Treasure Way would go close on his best form but the vote goes to MERRJANAH, who made a pleasing return in this grade at Leicester and wouldn't need to improve much on that to get off the mark here.
