SAINT IRENE ran her best race so far when fourth on her handicap debut over C&D with Come On Blue Chip behind. Michael Blanshard's filly can find the improvement necessary to get her head in front here and is preferred to Outlaw Torn, who won a weak nursery at Kempton on his latest start. Stellar Express and Bajan Hero are both out of sorts and hard to fancy, but Hearts And Minds can finish closer on this surface having been well beaten on Fibresand last time. The Wicked Lord and Courtesy Call could prove best of the rest.
