DARK SIMBA (2) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fourth over 7f at Sandown-Lakeside. Improvement to come and this is his chance to break through. THINKING GOLD (6) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Blinkers come off. Looks hard to beat. AVONBEG (7) was solid on debut last start, winding up nicely at the end of 1m to finish second at this track. Must be respected. MADAM GRISELDA (9) is a four-start maiden who finished second over 7f at this track last time out after being in the firing line on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
