Verdict

A competitive small-field contest with bottom weight QUEENIE ST CLAIR selected to come out on top. Successful on stable debut at Wincanton in December, she was far from disgraced faced with a sterner assignment at Taunton last time and this return to handicaps looks firmly in her favour now. The Boss Bear and Sinchi Roca are still very much unexposed and head up the dangers on their respective handicap debuts.
