TULIP FEVER won at York last month and ran well again under a penalty at Bath last time. Georgia Cox takes a valuable 5lb off her back for her handicap debut and she’s preferred to the other winners in the field, Straight Ash and Blessed To Empress. The former won in soft ground at Chepstow last time and the latter scored at Chelmsford on her earlier debut. The remainder have yet to threaten though Ventura Gold and Hope And Glory look likely improvers.
