Quiet Penny hasn't been seen since landing a novices' handicap at Newcastle in April last year and has changed stables. Her former trainer sends out Fame And Hope and she ran a bit better at Ayr when only fading on the run-in. Milanvera also produced a better effort when stepping up to 2m5f at Sedgefield while Georgian Firebird stays the trip but her jumping leaves plenty to be desired. TIPALONG TYLER stays the trip and arrives in good form though the only concern is the going. Her victory over 3m2f at Warwick in September came on good ground and she's never faced testing conditions.
