QAZAQ (3) overcame a tricky draw winning on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) during November. Now unbeaten in three starts and handicapper has not overreacted. Good claims. APIARIST (6) snapped a losing streak with a narrow course and distance success last month. Strong chances from just 3lb higher. POPMASTER (1) confirmed his wellbeing managing third among Listed company at Kempton. Demands respect back to a handicap despite conceding plenty of weight all round. STORM STAR (7) won debuting here last year. Consistent without finding success since entering handicaps. In the mix again.
