It took a slide down the weights before Song Of Parkes could return to winning form at Lingfield and she doesn't make much appeal off a 6lb higher mark. Both of Gran Canaria Queen's wins this season have come over 6f including at Thirsk last week but Baby Queen went close to ending her long losing run at Chepstow a fortnight ago and looks to have decent claims. BALLARINA found only the progressive Bondi Beach Boy too good on her reappearance at Thirsk and Eric Alston's mare gets the vote with that run under her belt.
