A competitive bumper to finish off the card in which we will side with PENNY QUEEN. The selection showed promise on her debut when a close finishing second at Towcester. She was only run out of it in the closing stages and with her age and fillies' allowance she has every chance of getting her head in front this time around. Of her rivals Switched Off will pose as the biggest danger having run so well on his debut at Doncaster when finishing second of twenty two. With that experience now behind him he has to be short listed to go close once again. Gospel Spirit is another that caught the eye on his debut so any market moves should be noted. However for the winner we return to Penny Queen.
