Song Of Love landed his maiden last month from a subsequent winner but ran moderately on his handicap debut last week. He should still be thereabouts while Rest Assured has been very unfortunate to be caught close home in her two latest starts and, though still climbing the weights without winning, looks capable. However, she was only a neck in front of HAPPY HEN three weeks ago when the latter was making her handicap debut and having just her fourth start - the latter looks progressive enough to take this. Lady Mandeville scored at Down Royal in September but was beaten by the runner-up when making her debut on this surface the following month and hasn't run since.
