Forecasts

Ivor's Queen (13/8), Lady Of Lamanver (3/1), Kentford Heiress (5/1), Royal Debutante (7/1), Legend Lady (15/2), Castafiore (14/1), Postbridge (20/1)

Verdict

Assuming LEGEND LADY is fit enough to do herself just, she could be up to making a winning return. She was a clear second behind the progressive Midnight Tour on that occasion and could be ahead of her mark as such, though fitness must rank as a concern and so it would be nice to see home confidence in the market. Ivor's Queen scored last time out at Wincanton and has claims again if this trip doesn't find her out stamina-wise while another long-time absentee, Lady Of Lamanver, is also worthy of some close scrutiny on her return. For consistency, it is hard to knock recent Newton Abbot winner Kentford Heiress.
  1. Legend Lady
  2. Ivor's Queen
  3. Kentford Heiress
