Compton Ashdown scraped home over C&D in November but hasn't been seen since and may need this. Kyllachy Dancer has gone backwards since finishing second over 5f here in April while Ficelle's only win so far came in a seller and she's more exposed than some. Lazeez could be interesting in first-time blinkers, though is proving difficult to predict, so we'll take a chance on the lightly-raced HADRIANS RULE. He cost 37,000gns so connections will be expecting some return on that investment this season and he could be well treated on his handicap and all-weather debut.
