Charlie Lad is upped 4lb for winning at Lingfield and Prominna has been raised 5lb after scoring at the same track. Your Gifted won over track and trip in January but was behind Give Us A Belle here when the latter also beat Extreme Supreme. QUALITY ART won five times on the all-weather early last year. Four of those wins came over course and distance, including this race, and Simon Hodgson's charge may pop up again having slipped back down to a winning mark.
