Race preview
GRANNY BUDGIE failed to justify favouritism in a novice event at Lingfield last time, but she was far from disgraced in fourth on that occasion. The daughter of Massaat may be underestimated by an opening mark of 73, considering her debut victory at Nottingham. Alfa Whiteburd has decent form on soft ground and he could have a big say here. Of the remainder, Marie's Secret makes the most appeal on her nursery bow.
