Hipz has already had three runs this month including at Kempton last week where she couldn't get close to Magic Mirror. The Special One, who wasn't far behind in fourth, found the 7f trip on the short side so should go well while First Experience battled on gamely to score over the course and distance last time and is still on a low enough mark to get into contention again. SONNET ROSE gained her only success on Fibresand after which she was hit with a 7lb rise. She's continued in good form on Polytrack and can get back to winning ways. Lady Noorah came here for her handicap debut last month and started favourite. She didn't quite get the run of the race but she'll need to do better to get off the mark.
