Bentons Lad showed improvement for the step up in distance at Catterick while Nam Ma Prow and Crafty Spell are stoutly-bred, though both were well beaten over the same race over this trip at Wolverhampton last time. Vosne Romanee won over 1m1f on the Polytrack last week but now has a penalty and may struggle to stay this far. NEWGATE QUEEN is related to hurdlers and the extra yardage is sure to help. She has shown ability in slightly better company and may be capable of defying top weight in a modest handicap.
