Vive La Reine (by Twilight Son).

Trainer David Simcock in decent form.

Vive La Reine's sire Twilight Son is a pretty handy sire on the all weather specifically on Tapeta and he already boasts a few winners on the new surface.

As for Vive La Reine she cost 52k as a yearling and made her debut last week at Wolves finishing 7th out of 8 runners.

Simcock turns her out quickly here and she should know a bit more and hopefully be competitive.

Jockey Callum Shep takes the ride and he’s definitely capable. He also has a good record with this trainer and at this (new) course although the samples are low.

She’s worth a go against what looks like poor opposition although I do like the Roger Varian favourite too.

Odds: 25/1 E/W (b365 w/ Best Odds Guaranteed).

Straight Forecast: Social Contact to beat Vive La Reine (about 50/1) for a few pounds for insurance.
