Kayf Grace and Queen Odessa hail from yards with strong records in such contests and both have displayed sufficient talent to be of interest here, with the former's level of form giving her the edge. Mcgregor's Cottage faces a stiff task to concede 7lb to the pair but did impress on her Sedgefield debut. This will provide us with a much more accurate barometer of her ability. CAJUN FIDDLE was an odds-on failure at Towcester last time having run Savingforvegas close on her debut. The expectation is that she'll be far more suited to this better ground and is worth another chance.
