2/1

Winner over 1m at Chelmsford City in October and unsuited by drop in trip when good third of 14 in 7f handicap at Kempton last time. Still low mileage so interesting now back at her optimum distance.

Forecasts

Noble Queen (2/1), Global Style (3/1), Hunters Step (8/1), Violet's Lads (9/1), Six Til Twelve (12/1), Boy George (12/1), Mrs Benson (14/1), Cristal Pallas Cat (18/1), Key Look (20/1), Fivehundredmiles (20/1), Chica Del Dia (22/1), Rivas Rob Roy (33/1)

NOBLE QUEEN has few miles on the clock so is worth siding with now she returns to this trip having done well in the circumstances when third back over 7f at Lingfield last time. Six Til Twelve is weighted to have a say if shrugging off a below-par Chelmsford City effort last time, while Global Style appeals as the pick of the remainder.
