Queenie St Clair

10st 6lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Nick Scholfield

She's thrived this season and made it 3-5 for the yard (wins at 1m7f-2m1f on good to soft/heavy) when winning big-field mares' novice handicap at Kelso four weeks ago; from out of the handicap she's 12lb higher today back against males but it remains to be seen where her limitations lie.

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Nick Scholfield

Two wins (1m7f/2m, good to soft/heavy) from her first three starts for this yard and perhaps her latest run at Newbury three weeks ago came too soon, just six days after she won at Fontwell; not discounted.

Queenie St Clair

11st 10lb

J: Freddie Keighley

T: Nick Scholfield

Ex-Irish mare who is 2-3 for new stable, most recently scoring in a canter at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) last Sunday; open to further progress and looks well in under a 7lb penalty; commands respect.

Madame La Papillon

10st 4lb

J: Alice Stevens

T: Claire Dyson

Bumper winner who was runner-up on her first two hurdle starts (2m/2m1f, soft/good to soft); disappointing favourite at Hereford (2m, soft) since but she failed to settle and was hampered a couple of times; retains potential and she's not ruled out each-way on handicap debut.

Bumper winner for Laura Morgan in 2024 (2m, soft); runner-up on both runs over hurdles, last time finishing a long way clear of the remainder at Newcastle (2m, good to soft); should go well again.

J: Charlie Deutsch

T: Mel Rowley

Had three runs following a long absence and the latest was the best, when beaten 12l in a 2m novice here on heavy ground; now into a handicap and might yet tap into the distinct promise she showed in bumpers (on good); has always sported a hood.

Creditable effort when running-on third in big-field Cheltenham bumper (good) last April but her form either side of that doesn't match up, including when tailed off in both hurdle starts.

Verdict

Barring sustained support for the Skelton newcomer I Heard A Rumour, this promises to be a straightforward match between Queenie St Clair and MADAME LA PAPILLON. The selection was tapped for toe behind a promising rival at Newcastle three weeks ago, and the forecast conditions should play to her strengths. [Mark Rowntree]
