Formscan - Aazza was a comprehensive winner of her latest outing at Doncaster when storming 20 lengths clear of her nearest pursuer. However, the seven-year-old has a 13lb rise to contend with and the vote, therefore, goes to EL POPPOCHAPO. Stuart Crawford's mare shed the maiden tag here in novice company last month and the manner of victory suggested the step up in distance on her handicap debut would potentially see her improve again. Lady Tremaine ran well on her return at Newcastle on Boxing Day and is another to note.
