Christine Dunnett wouldn't be a regular visitor to these parts but she has spotted an opportunity for QUEEN OF BURGUNDY (NAP) to follow up her easy victory on her handicap debut at Leicester. She's been raised 8lb but comes here with a 6lb penalty under a 5lb claimer so looks well handicapped. Magical Spirit has been narrowly beaten in his two starts this season after ending the last campaign with a victory at Beverley. He looks certain to go well again and easily holds Thirsk selling-plate winner Murqaab. Northern Society went up 7lb for landing a minor Musselburgh handicap and was unable to cope at this level at Redcar while Hard Solution has never won and seems best at the minimum trip.
