Theydon Girls opened her account over track and trip a week ago and is upped in class under a penalty. Favorite Girl has been beaten over hurdles since landing a double over 1m4f at Wolverhampton early this year though her only success on Turf so far came in an amateurs' race. Ms Gillard disappointed at Doncaster last time having been thereabouts before that and POPPY TIME is preferred. Fourth over course and distance last month when taking a strong hold, she should go close today if settling better in the early stages.
