9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 5 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good to firm, 85/40) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. This further step up in trip could help unlock improvement.

Forecasts

Phaedra (1/1), Squires Treaty (3/1), Queen Sansa (9/2), Gretna Dreams (16/1), Nelson Gate (18/1), Pistrucci (18/1), Argentum (33/1)

This stiffer test should help QUEEN SANSA, who was undone by the steady gallop upped to 1¼m on her recent handicap debut at Brighton. Phaedra is a big danger on the back of her easy success at Chepstow and Squires Treaty should also have a part to play.
