Verdict
KILGANER QUEEN is in the veteran stage now and her fitness will have to be taken on trust but she was in decent form in the spring and is a pound lower than her last winning mark with Ben Ffrench Davis taking off a further 7lb. Barely Famous has only gone up 4lb for winning at Southwell and is also partnered by a 7lb claimer but Persuer was beaten in a seller in between falls at Worcester and Warwick. Simply Red edges further up the weights despite back-to-back defeats but the four-year-old will be hard to keep out of the frame again but Molliana has been doing her winning on Jersey. Say Nothing is preferred to Cotton End of the others.
