Character Onesie has been thereabouts recently and Himalayan Queen was placed at Windsor last time but still has something to prove over today’s trip. But the three-year-old DREAMING TIME makes more appeal on her close-up third at Thirsk last month given she finished ahead of a subsequent winner and James Tate’s filly gets the nod on that form. Beyond Recall returns from a short break having struggled over longer trips in handicaps while Passing Star has only won a claiming race since landing a hat-trick back in 2014.
