Verdict

It could be worth siding with NO RETURN, who is now 5 lb lower than when finishing second at Lingfield in January and while he's barely beaten a rival home in 3 subsequent starts, he was a winner of 2 of his final 3 runs on turf last year. Azure Zain and Great may emerge as the main dangers, while Yorkshire Glory is bound to be popular following his all-weather exploits in recent months and he has to enter calculations, too.

  1. NO RETURN (IRE)
  2. AZURE ZAIN (FR)
  3. GREAT
