Race preview
OCTOBER HILL hasn't quite gone on as expected on both starts in handicap company, but the drop back in trip combined with a first-time tongue-tie gives David Pipe's mare the ideal opportunity to shed the maiden tag. Queen Maeve was a beaten favourite at Hereford on her first start in the UK but is capable of better, while Caterpillar Girl may well have benefited from a break and she completes the shortlist.
