The two most experienced horses in the line up can fight out the finish of this two-year-old maiden contest. Preference is for KIRBEC who ran well following a break when finishing runner-up over 7f at Ayr last time and may well be granted a relatively easy lead here. Queen Penn who ran in a decent looking nursery at Newmarket last time out is another with plenty of experience and she can put that to good use by finishing second today. Of their rivals here Eva Docc ran well here when finishing second on her debut and can take third in this.
