TROIS VALLEES has yet to win a handicap but has gone close off a similar mark in the past and gets a speculative vote. Four Adaay has proven best over the minimum trip so far while Company Minx won over course and distance before failing to beat a rival at Chelmsford. Starsong scored at Chelmsford in February and gets a change of headgear but Luna Queen’s success at Lingfield last month came over 7f.
