We’ll take a chance that a change of surroundings has revitalised KALAHARI QUEEN as she is back on a winning mark and much better than she’s shown the last twice. Made For You has won his last two but will need to defy a further 7lb rise to complete the hat-trick. Chance A Tune won very easily returning from a long absence at Fontwell but he finished last in his only previous run in a handicap while Alrightjack probably needs to improve a little to score off this mark but is preferred to Opening Bid and Enfin Phil.
