Spring Romance faces a different task carrying a penalty for winning over 6f on the Fibresand at Southwell and NOBLE QUEEN (NAP) makes more appeal as she returned a convincing winner at Chelmsford on her handicap debut - Ed Walker’s filly can go in again with further progress likely. Lily Beach has improved for the addition of cheekpieces and has gone close at Chelmsford the last twice. She has more scope than the likes of Itmakesyouthink and My Law, who have both won off similar marks over track and trip this year.
