Rose Buck won a maiden race at Lingfield last month but had looked high enough in the weights in handicaps before that. El Duque's recent course win came over 7f and Under Approval has failed to figure since opening his account on the Fibresand at Southwell. Coiste Bodhar was engaged to run at Kempton yesterday and Soul Instinct will need to step up on recent efforts. EMERALD BREEZE has to defy a penalty for last week's course and distance victory but she scored by three lengths on that occasion and Tim Pitt's filly can go in again.
