Maria Magdalena has won twice over hurdles recently and is making her debut on Turf on the Flat. She is potentially well treated and Thore Hammer Hansen takes off a further 5lb. Junoesque has won four times this year but failed to conclusively prove her stamina at Epsom last month. MAROON BELLS came good over track and trip last month. She’s been hit with an 8lb rise but can give the weight away to Beverley runner-up Colony Queen.
