Stephanie Frances got back to winning ways at Ludlow last month but was well beaten on her only previous try in this grade. Midnight Jazz has been racing over further lately and has a bit to find with Twentytwo's Taken on Newbury running but Quiet Candid won over this trip at Market Rasen and is entitled to respect. Sureness should enjoy the better ground and makes more appeal than the maiden Bantam but ABIGAIL LYNCH is taken to rediscover her best form. She should have benefited from a short break having looked a nice prospect when scoring at Wincanton on Boxing Day.
