Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 58

Forecasts

Glory And Gold (3/1), Proud Fairy (5/1), Granary Queen (6/1), Zoom Zoom Babe (15/2), Present Moment (8/1), Stubble Field (10/1), Prenup (12/1), Aviary (12/1), Alyara (14/1), Citrus Grove (25/1), Starry Eyes (28/1), Piffle (33/1)

GRANARY QUEEN returned to form when runner-up at Kempton 13 days ago, making up a lot of ground from the rear, so she can go one better this time around back up to 1m. Proud Fairy is feared most having made a successful handicap debut last time, ahead of Glory And Gold who could get back on track after a break.
