FormscanBy Gary Carson - Stepping back up in trip should suit REINE FEE. She was staying on when second to Arahecan at Down Royal over this two-and-a-half mile trip and ran a solid race back at the minimum distance when third last time to Duc D'allier in a decent heat at Fairyhouse. A mark of 110 doesn't look harsh at all now for her handicap debut in among her own sex. Sovereign Gold ran well on her first start in handicap company over fences at Naas last time and off just a 2lb higher mark she looks an obvious contender. Exit To West looks a better chaser than hurdler and is another that has to come into the mix while this trip may be a bit short for the consistent Askann.
