METAVERSE (3) lines up for the first time since September 21. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather. Looks a winning chance. ATA RANGI (12) scored a commanding win at Roscommon over 1500m at his latest appearance on October 14. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Edward Walker. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. MADAME DE SEVIGNE (6) is back from a break of five months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1400m at Newmarket (Rowley). Among the better hopes. DARING LEGEND (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Kempton Park All Weather, beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
