Verdict
A potentially informative maiden which features a first appearance over hurdles of The Queen's Sunshade, who made an impressive start to her career in a Fakenham bumper in April. COCKNEY WREN sets a decent standard, however, on her third in a Listed contest at Kempton last month and she seems to like sharp tracks like this. Chilli Filli beat the disappointing Grania O'Malley in a Bangor bumper in May and ran well on her hurdles bow over course and distance. Oscar Rose has been a beaten favourite twice over timber but she's run well enough and should be winning soon.
