CAVALLO BAY (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance in stakes class at Del Mar (Turf) over 1760m on November 1. Has ability and should be right in the finish. HAWKSBILL (4) tested on a synthetic surface for the first time today on his return from a lengthy spell. Kicked off the last campaign with a fourth at Sandown Park over 1400m. Significant class drop this time. Best form puts him right in this. } LOCAL LAD (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Naas. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Thirsk over 1400m. Has ability and is a leading player. GLITTERING LEGEND (1) is back from a spell of five months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1600m at Goodwood. Makes plenty of appeal.
