Verdict

Third at Exeter last month, where Annie Express was weakening when unseating her rider, Queen Annie will enjoy the extra distance here. Country Lady got outpaced when third over 2m at Plumpton and Kay Tara Tara, a decent bumper, landed the odds on her hurdling debut at Huntingdon. Bethka was staying on at Market Rasen but has more than four lengths to find with STUTI, who may also have a bit more scope.
