QUEEN JANE had something to spare when opening her account in a novice over C&D and she can take another step forward to defy what looks a fair opening mark. Hurricane George remains with handicapping scope (useful chaser) despite a hefty rise for her recent Wexford success, so she's regarded as the main danger ahead of Frazel Express.
