Verdict
It's Maisy has been expensive to follow this season and, although she continues to edge down the ratings, it might be best to look elsewhere. MAURA JEANNE found only a subsequent winner too strong at Ayr and compensation could be on the cards. Keppel Queen has the ability to figure if jumping with more fluency, while the refitting of a hood should be of benefit to Smile Back.
Expert View Verdict
Sean Bowen makes the journey north for just a couple of rides and Keppel Queen has to have a big chance based on her latest run. She never looked happy that day and did well to finish as close to a pair of well handicapped rivals as she did. However she again encounters soft ground and probably won't be at ease on the surface again. One who will appreciate the cut in the ground is VROOMOZ EILE who was a winner over 2 1/2m here in similar conditions last year. She travelled best on her reappearance over 3m and it's likely it was her fitness rather than stamina which gave way. The form of that race has been franked emphatically and she's entitled to come on for the run so ought to hold every chance off 1lb lower. It's Maisy is another who enjoys soft ground and she shaped as if ready for this step back up in trip last time so also rates a threat.
