Valkenburg faces a more difficult task under a penalty having won at Catterick last week and CORAL QUEEN is preferred. She missed a couple of years racing but returned to action in July and has placed in all four starts so far this season. Ray Craggs’ mare gets the nod after finding only one too good over track and trip last time. Exclusive Waters was runner-up over 1m2f here last month while Trautmann landed a double at Musselburgh during the summer but ran a shocker on his latest start. Last Chance Paddy may prove best of the rest.
