Race preview

Coppice disappointed when sent off favourite in the Nell Gwyn, but she made no mistake when winning at Newcastle thereafter. An opening mark of 97 could underestimate the daughter of Kingman and she features prominently in calculations, along with recent Killarney scorer Ma Belle Artiste. Jackie Oh was far from disgraced in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and she merits respect, for all that her current mark doesn't look the most lenient. Chelsea Green is another to note, but marginal preference is for MARKSMAN QUEEN. She lost her unbeaten record at Kempton 16 days ago, but the daughter of Dubawi competes from a handy racing weight today and has further scope to progress now switched to turf. Girl Racer, Dream Of Love and Zouzanna are just a handful of other contenders in a typically wide-open renewal.
