PARTY BEAR showed much-improved form on the back of 6 months off when second on handicap debut here (6f) in January. She appeals as the type to do better still, including at this longer trip, so could be the answer from a handy draw. Beta Reader did well to overcome a poor draw when making a winning handicap debut over C&D 11 days ago and he could yet have more to offer. Kathleen's Glory, Kamekist and Pageant are a trio of handicap newcomers to note, too.
