Any ease in the ground could bring about some improvement from QUEEN'S COMPANION (6). Ralph Beckett's filly ran well to an extent when a held third on her reappearance at Newmarket (Rowley) and she can do better now stepping into handicap company with first-time cheekpieces applied. KARVALA (5) showed a good attiitude to score second time out at Thirsk and must be respected up in trip. She has a good draw to work with and can be considered alongside fellow handicap newcomer HATOUR (3) who now goes handicapping after three decent qualifying runs. The consistent topweight CITY QUEEN (1) can go well with promising apprentice Toby Moore booked.
