SPRINGINHERSTEP hasn't been far away off her current mark and gets another chance. She found only one too good at Plumpton last time and this looks no tougher. Kayfleur was well beaten despite finishing runner-up at Taunton in heavy ground but today's surface will be more to her liking while Queen Olivia has a shout having made the frame at Southwell back in June. Cartmel winner Poetic Verse has to be forgiven a poor run at Cheltenham but is better than that and can figure.
