28/1

Latest win at Newbury in May. Seventh of 12 in handicap (100/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. This C&D winner is well in the mix off a 2 lb lower mark.

Granary Queen^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72| CD

Forecasts

Kirilenko (5/2), Lady Eros (10/3), Night Battle (7/2), Victoria Grove (15/2), Granary Queen (10/1), Thebeautifulgame (10/1), Rose Barton (14/1), Star From Afarhh (25/1), Ellade (28/1), Queen Of Burgundy (28/1), Tinderbox (33/1), Lalania (80/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. GRANARY QUEEN can boast a C&D win and was unlucky not to go in when runner-up at Chelmsford City last time so makes obvious appeal from an unchanged mark here. Sir Michael Stoute's Windsor-scorer Kirilenko is much less exposed and rates a big threat with more to offer, while course-winners Victoria Grove and Ellade along with handicap debutantes Night Battle and Lady Eros need factoring in too.
