Les Eyre has placed Queen Of Kalahari expertly to complete a hat-trick at Southwell but she’s never won on any other all-weather track and has shot up the weights. CHLOELLIE has won six times on Polytrack though never on this surface but she’s down to a winning mark so looks the one to beat. Porcelain Girl hasn’t had much experience on the all-weather and though not in the best of form is 9lb lower than her last winning mark. Pinarella has struggled from her raised mark since scoring at Ripon but has been given a chance by the assessor. Oriental Lilly is the only one of these to have won on the track and is by no means out of this.
