A winner over a mile at Kempton last month, Queen Gamrah attempts to defy a penalty over this shorter trip. But a couple of these showed enough on their respective debuts over course and distance to suggest they can figure. Velma was beaten only a couple of lengths at the start of the month but TIME VOYAGE caught the eye making late progress to finish fourth here last month and John Quinn’s filly will know more today. Dancing Leopard came up short back in novice company at Southwell earlier in the week while River Song and Welsh Back are newcomers to note.
