Purley Queen had little chance at Ascot last time and much better is expected on today's handicap debut. Elegant Flight scored over 6f here last month and should be thereabouts stepping up in trip, but Hesperides finished a close-up third over C&D on her latest start and makes more appeal on her first start in a nursery. COMPTON BIRD stepped up on her earlier form when swooping late for an impressive win over a mile here a week ago. She has a penalty to defy, but looks capable of doing so now the penny's dropped and can land a quick double on the card for Hans Adielsson.
