Verdict
Rosie McQueen fell at the second last when in the lead at Huntingdon in March and at the same flight when in touch over this track and trip a couple of weeks ago. She's making her handicap debut with a big weight and UNDISPUTED can take advantage of the 5lb she receives. Noel Williams' mare, beaten a neck in a maiden here a year ago, looked a progressive type when landing a Newton Abbot maiden in June and though returning after an absence looks quite well treated on 109. Molly Childers has been narrowly beaten in both starts over hurdles and though taking a big step-up in trip has finished runner-up in a point-to-point. Phoeniciana has never raced beyond the minimum but her style of running suggests she'll be suited to the extra while Bonnet's Vino won this last year and is just 2lb higher.
