Chairmanic won over 6f in soft going at Haydock last time but will find things happening faster over today’s minimum trip. Queen's Order ran well at Pontefract recently but Danny Tudhope prefers HOT AFFAIR in this. The latter will be sharper for last week’s fourth over course and distance when finishing ahead of both Clareyblue and Dazzling Des and improvement looks likely on only her second start handicapping. Sampers Seven won a lower grade sprint on the all-weather last month while Stone Soldier returns to action having recorded both of last year’s wins over 6f.
