Verdict
It's difficult to have much confidence in any of these. Sixties Queen has been placed over longer trips on a couple of occasions but a speculative vote goes the way of LAMBERT PEN. He was beaten only a length at Salisbury before disappointing in soft ground last time and is 3lb lower today. Double Star has won a race at Bath but shown little in three subsequent outings while Isle Of Beauty has been well beaten since going close at Hamilton back in June. Norphin may do better dropping down a grade.
