ICI LA REINE has a very smart pedigree and came here for a similar race last month where she started favourite and won easily. She has a penalty to carry and Mavis Pike, who will be receiving 19lb, can give her a race though doesn't have that level of form. Woogrey was almost seven lengths behind the selection then finished last when sent into Listed company at Market Rasen. Miss Arabella made her debut over the track and trip and stayed on late so should come on for the experience.
