Beyond Measure's last run came in a Listed race over course and distance and she should find this easier. Milanese Queen was well backed for her debut at Fakenham last April so is presumably thought capable of better. Miss Yeats was third at Wetherby in November while Song Saa only found one too good at the same track just under a year ago and hails from a yard with a good strike rate in bumpers. BRIGHT EYES' half-sister Chocca Wocca did well in bumpers last season, finishing second in a Listed contest at Aintree in April, and Nicky Henderson's five-year-old can make a winning start this afternoon.
