Cirrus placed a couple of times in her first season and wasn’t disgraced when fourth on her reappearance at Kempton. Professional Widow has been very unlucky not to have won so far and should be far away again here, despite shouldering top weight on her handicap debut, but the rains may have come in time for COPPER QUEEN as she was second at York and Newmarket in the autumn under optimum conditions. Windsor fourth Dromquinna could also figure if handling the surface but Qurtajana continues to disappoint.
