Five are returning from layoffs of six months or more and only three have run in the past few weeks. Novello Lad is an obvious starting point, having shaped well on his 5f Beverley comeback, but he has twelve defeats at 6-1 or shorter to go with his three wins off lower marks, and the temptation is to look elsewhere. The step back up from 5f will suit Gallant, down 2lb from last time, but LORNA B, who's low mileage compared to most and won on her comeback last season, could yet be capable of better.[Graham Wheldon]
