GRAGEELAH GIRL (NAP) goes well fresh so an absence since November is not a concern. She was highly tried in the autumn and has run well on both previous visits here. Queen's Magic is now 0-7 and doesn’t look one to rely on while Gordon Elliott’s Smiling Eliza has been struggling in handicaps but another four-year-old, Gemologist, would have place claims again following wind surgery and Rubenesque has won a staying handicap on the Flat since failing to complete at Doncaster and Market Rasen. Peters Cousin probably found 2m7f too far last time and is another with claims.
