Quite Smart has a handicap mark of 69 but a few of these may improve past her. That includes LAMSA, who ran out of steam on her reappearance over 7f at Wolverhampton and was caught close home. She can go one better over this shorter trip. Penny Dreadful also found on too good on her return to action at Wolverhampton while Magical Daze was narrowly beaten at Bath in October. Paint The Star has been off the track since finishing third at Windsor early last year while Swiss Affair, Hope And Faith and Highest Quality are all worth noting in the betting on their racecourse debuts.
