If fit Lady Racquet should be hard to beat and so should be monitored in the market, however we will side with Petite Margot. The selection appreciated extreme conditions at Towcester eleven days ago and with conditions likely to be similar today she should go well despite a 6lb penalty for that win. She has won at the track before and should cope with today's slight drop in trip. The stable are in fair form and she gets the nod. Lady Racquet makes her belated chase debut today and must be a threat, whilst Reelinga is consistent and should run her race. Woodstock Lass stayed on in good fashion to win last time out at 22/1 and must have claims today getting weight from the selection, however we will stick with Petite Margot to go in again.
