Dancing Queen's maiden form entitles her to respect and market support would be noteworthy, but she's been off the track for 327 days so we'll take her on with DUTIFUL. Mick Channon's gelding won nicely at Brighton last time and a 2lb rise appears more than fair. Conditions here should suit and providing he copes with the drop to seven, which as a winner over the trip we're hopeful he will, then Dutiful looks the one to be on. Leadenhall Lass likes it here and runs off the same mark as when third over course and distance two starts back so it's likely she'll run well again while Another Try looked value for further when winning at Lingfield and should have no trouble with the extra yardage. Spinning Bailiwick is better on artificial surfaces and the consistent Sermons Mount has had 23 races without winning and therefore looks one for forecasts only.
