No winning form to consider in an open contest. REFULGENCE stayed on well for third when stepped up in to today's trip at Lingfield last time and went close in heavy going last year. Marco Botti's filly should be thereabouts in an open contest. Lee's Hall was placed at Kempton in October and has a shout on that form while Caitie's breeding suggests she will stay this longer trip having finished runner-up over 6f last term. Perfect Quest makes her handicap bow on her reappearance and may well improve along with Pastoral Star.
