JESSICA RABBIT placed three times last year but probably exceeded those efforts when fifth on her reappearance at Southwell. Her yard has already been among the winners and it will be disappointing if she can’t go close in a race like this with only one below her in the handicap. Quivvy Lough is having only her fourth run under Rules so may have more to offer having found only one too good here and at Bangor last summer. Petrucci is weighted to figure if back on song with the race-fit Perle Rose preferred to Viking Ruby of the remainder.
