QUEEN'S COMPANY (7) went to the paddock after scoring at her last appearance five months ago over 2420m at Kempton Park All Weather. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Julia & Shelley Birkett. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. BEACH POINT (5) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at Kempton Park All Weather six-and-a-half months ago. All set to run well. BOBACIOUS (3) resumes from a spell of six months and is having his first outing under new trainer Ed Dunlop. Finished sixth at Lingfield All Weather over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. Can make his presence felt. UNIVERSAL STORY (6) is returning from a brief spell and has a first look at a turf track. Opened last campaign with a fourth at Chelmsford over 2000m. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
