Verdict

TIVA scored in back-to-back handicaps last August including over C&D and returns with her stable in good form so looks the one to beat. Seven Questions has dropped down the weights and should be sharper following his encouraging third at Pontefract 18 days ago and Dyonisos should have a say, too.

3	Won back-to-back handicaps last August including over C&D, but out of depth in listed races on final 2 outings. Makes seasonal return in more realistic company and with her stable amongst the winners so looks one to strongly consider. 1st Pick 3 Tiva (Ire) Jockey: Mark Winn Trainer: David O'meara J: Mark Winn T: David O'meara	97	-	-	-	17%

1	Didn't cut much ice last year but has dropped down the weights as a result. Fitness seemed to tell late on when third of 13 in a handicap at Pontefract 18 days ago on return from 7 months off and he should be much sharper now. 2nd Pick 1 Seven Questions (Ire) Jockey: Hollie Doyle Trainer: Robert Cowell J: Hollie Doyle T: Robert Cowell	99	-	-	-	36%

2	Recorded 3 wins around 6f in France last year and looks to be finding his feet for current yard. Built on his third at Meydan in February when second of 8 in a handicap at Newmarket 11 days ago and may do better still if settling better here. 3rd Pick 2 Dyonisos (Fr) Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: Ian Williams J: Luke Morris T: Ian Williams	100	-	-	-	23%
