None of these are proven over a mile but ANNIE QUICKSTEP was drawn out wide at Kempton on her only previous attempt. She’s been in good form over 7f here subsequently and looks worth another chance with an apprentice’s allowance in her favour. Sir Havelock and Hiconic have also shown their best form over 7f so far while Grace Note and Uncle Sid have yet to race over this far. Berkshire Philly showed no improvement at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut but Led Astray may be capable of better this year.
