      Verdict

      Most of these return to action including Newcastle winner Golden Hind, who is 5lb higher today. Flower Of Scotland went close at Newcastle last term while Spring Glow placed at Kempton in October and Nikolayeva won over 2m here back in September. Junior bumper winner Steel An Icon has placed in novice company on the Flat and makes her handicap debut but the return to this longer distance will suit ELTHAM PALACE, third over 1m2f at Chelmsford recently and dropping back down a grade today.
