Well beaten in all three starts so far and cheekpieces worn over 5f at Southwell recently are replaced with a hood today. Others make more appeal.

Fair effort despite being beaten 6½L when finishing third over C&D on debut in November. Likely to have improved for that outing and interesting to see how he fares today.

Ran well when finishing third over 5f at Ripon (good-to-soft) on debut in June. Gelded since and fitted with a visor for his debut on this surface. One for the shortlist today.

Off the mark at the third time of asking when winning on good ground at Maisons-Laffitte (5f, good) last April. Unraced since and market likely to provide the best guide as to expectations on her return from a lengthy absence.

Unraced daughter of Captain Gerrard and a half-sister to dual winner Don't Blame Me. Yard not renowned for debut winners and probably best watched on this occasion.

2/1
Good effort when finishing fifth over 6f on debut at Chelmsford last month. Keen on that occasion and shaped as if this drop in trip would suit. Likely to prove hard to beat today.

Forecasts

Galloway Hills (11/8), Queen Of Desire (2/1), Nomorecalls (3/1), Fas Le Fios (14/1), Purple Dragon (25/1), Argon (66/1)

Verdict

QUEEN OF DESIRE should appreciate today's drop in trip and with that in mind she can claim this 5f novice stakes. The selection weakened late on when making her debut over 6f last time but showed enough to suggest she can take this. The application of a visor for the first time can see Nomorecalls finish second while Galloway Hills, third here last time out can fill the same position this time.
  1. Queen Of Desire
  2. Nomorecalls
  3. Galloway Hills
