In depth
Verdict
Nellie Forbush won a juvenile event at Fakenham in October and will find this tougher. Dewala returned to hurdling with a decent effort at Market Rasen and can figure along with Taggia, but Fairyinthewind has been struggling off her current mark of late. QUEEN OLIVIA posted her best effort so far over hurdles when runner-up to Edmaaj over track and trip last week. She can race off the same mark today and gets the nod to open her account with further progress expected.
