Queen Of The Court has won twice at Taunton since the turn of the year, beating Artemision 12 lengths on the first occasion. She placed here in between but is on a career-high mark now. Successful five times here already, LORD SPARKY is back in the right grade and the return to a longer trip is also in his favour as he got outpaced over 2m4f last time. Champ Is Real has won twice at Musselburgh recently but a 13lb hike in the ratings could thwart his hat-trick bid. Thais Toir tries a new trip and may not be suited.
