Queen Aggie has been placed over 7f on her last couple of starts and should be thereabouts once again racing off the same mark. Medam finished a lot closer over track and trip in November and can also figure but ELHAAM is preferred. The latter won a maiden contest at Lingfield before finding life tough in a Class 3 handicap last time and can come out best dropping down a couple of grades. Jolly Red Jeanz finished ahead of Chookie's Lass when third here on her latest start and could prove best of the rest.
