Verdict
Kozmina Bay was always travelling best when scoring over 2m4f at Ffos Las earlier this month but has already been beaten twice over this course and distance this season off lower marks. Queen Of The Stage is on the upgrade and chasing a hat-trick after victories at Ludlow and over 2m3f here. She can't be ruled out with Lizzie Kelly taking off 7lb again while Miss Sassypants opened her account over hurdles at Wincanton and is another with scope. Dear Darling. Kassis and Lady Garvagh could also play a part but PITTER PATTER (NAP) may be the pick of the weights. Fergal O'Brien's mare was just behind Queen Of The Stage at Ludlow two runs ago and is 7lb better off today - she wasn't disgraced in a Listed contest at Taunton on her latest start.
