ALSHAZAH won in this grade at Kempton in September before his fourth in a better race at the same track three weeks ago. He's just preferred to Eyedoro, who makes his handicap debut after placed efforts in maiden company. Last month's Windsor winner Duquesa can figure back on the Polytrack, but Deceptive is 12lb higher than when scoring at Kempton on her penultimate start. Hygrove Welshlady can be relied on to run her race, though she looks high enough in the weights now as does Waltzing Cat.
