Cadland Lad has to defy a penalty having finally opened his account at Newcastle last week. Redalani went close over 5f at Kempton last time when ahead of Presto Boy but both remain without a win after a combined 50 starts while the less exposed Bedazzling Lady has been placed on her last couple of outings. Ryan Style went close here last month but was behind Cadland Lad on his latest start and a token vote goes to CUBAN QUEEN, who scored at Wolverhampton back in April and can effectively race off a lower mark here with an apprentice’s allowance taken into account.
