Verdict
None are easily dismissed though a couple have the advantage a recent run. Brunel Charm can do better and QUEEN GAMRAH never figured at Haydock on her return but she’s a course and distance winner and may prove good enough. Desert Peace made a winning start over 7f here before struggling under a penalty while Fox Duty Free went close at York when last in action and both go handicapping for the first time along with Lingfield novice winner Rovaniemi. Impatient is 4lb higher having won a handicap over track and trip in October and Note Bleu has been raised 7lb for scoring here in March while Lottie Marie and No Show are not out of this either.
