A competitive opening handicap. FAIR WIND (4) brings course placed form and can go well fresh. Won among this company tackling the trip at Ascot two starts back last July. Respect on seasonal return. Five-time course winner ROMAN DRAGON (3) was a close fourth in this event last year. Narrowly found success attempting a 5f handicap at Bahrain two outings ago. Player on UK return. JER BATT (5) started the new campaign in good form with a solid third in this grade over 5f at Musselburgh. Makes for appeal. BALMORAL LADY (1) completed a handicap hat-trick in October before a close Listed second at Doncaster. Interesting.
