Absolute Queen was narrowly beaten over 6f at Nottingham on her debut and should stay this far but there is no doubt about CRACKOVIA lasting home. The latter was doing her best work at the finish when beaten only a neck over 7f at Chelmsford and the Johnsons’ filly looks the one to side with. Emily's Eclipse and Granny B made only moderate debuts but Countess Kess has a speedy pedigree.
