A few of these have a handicap rating and BEST LAID PLANS comes out best of them. She was beaten less than a length over track and trip last month and first-time headgear may bring about the small amount of improvement needed. Silhouette arrives out of form but Ten Rocks went close over 7f at Lingfield last time. However, the latter pair look thoroughly exposed so the newcomer Poetic Queen may prove a bigger threat.
