QUEEN'S COMPANY brought her campaign last season to a close with a narrow success here over a mile and shaped quite nicely on her first run since when fifth of ten at Kempton in April. She seems to enjoy her visits to the seaside track and is well worth a shot upped to this ten-furlong trip for the first time. Come On John is obviously in high form and looked to win with something to spare at Brighton last time, for which he's penalised 5lb. He should go close again. Tables Turned ran well last time, has first start on the grass and could be an improver, whilst Habanero Star and Star Of St Louis have course and distance success on their respective CVs and are not left out of calculations.
