RATAFIA makes a quick reappearance under a penalty after scoring on heavy ground at Redcar and Joanna Mason, who is on board again, can steer him to a quick double. Luna Queen scored on good to soft here in August but Inverinate's only success came at Chelmsford. Fast Flo has never won but ran well here last month while Delagate The Lady's four career victories have all been over 6f. Star Map's only decent effort came on soft ground in the spring though she didn't get the best of runs at Chelmsford last time.
