BRIJOMI QUEEN may not be entirely straightforward but she had a bit in hand when beating Rathvawn Belle on her reappearance and hurdling debut over track and trip in November and was taking on decent opposition when well beaten in a Listed race at Haydock later. She can give the weight to winning pointer and bumper Cloudante, who may need a bit further, and Stephanie Frances. The latter is taking on stronger rivals than when a beaten favourite at Southwell. Morning With Ivan was also a beaten favourite, at Doncaster, last time and needs more but Maison De Ville is expected to improve for her run at Catterick.
