WAKAI UMI won two of her last three in Ireland and made a successful debut for new connections here in November. She' up 2lb but Billy Loughnane's claim puts her on a 5lb lower mark. Soaring Angel has improved with every run and was only caught in the closing stages over the track and trip in November. Doctor Mozart got off the mark at the ninth attempt at Chelmsford having run well on Tapeta at Southwell earlier. Turbo Tiger was a disappointing favourite here last month and makes his handicap debut while Cariad Angel was racing in slightly better company on her handicap debut at Southwell.
