Verdict
QUEEN OF THE WIND won over the minimum on heavy ground at Ffos Las then stepped up to 2m4f to complete a double at Market Rasen. She's up another 5lb but her young rider, who was on board at Ffos Las, can claim 10lb here and a hat-trick beckons. Jimmy Rabbitte has moved from Ireland, where he won a Thurles maiden last month, and makes his debut for Richard Newland off what looks a fair mark. Martabot has never won but made a bold bid on heavy ground at Exeter where he only weakened from the last over 2m5f. Field Exhibition changed stables and carried a huge weight to an easy victory on heavy going at Uttoxeter. He's won on good ground so has plenty going for him here. Mere Anarchy won a Kempton handicap last September and should now be hitting his peak after three runs following a long absence.
