MCKENNA (6) represents a notable stable and arrives unexposed following a fair 4.5L fifth in a 7f novice event three weeks ago at Wolverhampton. Open to further progress back up in trip and now handicapping. Leading player. BRIGHTANDBEAUTIFUL (4) was not beaten too far here earlier this month finishing sixth contesting a 7f handicap. Improvement expected. WATKINS (8) is a stablemate to the top pick. On handicap debut after a break. Worth a market check. EMPOWERED QUEEN (10) may make the frame.
