Winning for the second time when successful in a 6f handicap at York (good-to-firm) and ran well when finishing third over the same C&D in a Group 3 event a month ago. Drops in grade here and looks likely to play a leading role in this.

Queen Kindly (7/4), Raven's Lady (5/1), Spain Burg (8/1), Eartha Kitt (9/1), Peticoatgovernment (11/1), Classical Times (12/1), Buying Trouble (16/1), The Wagon Wheel (16/1), Glenrowan Rose (16/1), Tundra (20/1), Flower Of May (20/1), Excellent Sounds (33/1), Show Stealer (33/1), Staintondale Lass (33/1), Savannah Slew (50/1)

French raider SPAIN BURG already a Group 2 winner in this country can take this contest dropping back to 6f for the first time since winning a Listed event over a year ago. Nicolas Clement's charge wasn't beaten far over 7f on her return to action and is taken to get the better of fellow three-year-old Queen Kindly who drops in grade today having been touched off in a Group 3 last time out. Glenrowan Rose, the likely pacesetter in this contest can hold on for third having won over 5f the last twice.
