MADELEINE BOND landed a Chepstow maiden then followed up on her handicap debut at Newbury and hasn't been unduly punished with a 3lb rise so can go in again. Hearstone gained a surprise victory at Chepstow where she won with something in hand so she's feared with just 2lb extra though whether she can do it on easier ground is another matter. Stellar Surprise is a lightly-raced maiden who couldn't quite make the step into Class 3 company last time and this is her grade while Stosur seems better on the all-weather these days. Pattie went up 6lb for her Pontefract victory and has struggled from her new mark.
