Seychelloise is penalised for last week's win over 7f at Wolverhampton and makes less appeal over today's shorter trip. Birdie Queen remains 5lb higher than her win here in July while Pettochside never threatened the winner when runner-up in a claimer at Windsor last month. Chelmsford winner New Rich ran well again last time but is upped a grade for this and RIGOLLETO is preferred having gone close at Lingfield recently and allowed to race off the same mark here.
