Caspian Queen will find this more straightforward then her last two assignments at Ascot but Evasive Power looks in the handicapper's grip. Sole three-year-old, Algheed, yet to finish out of the frame, made a winning debut for the yard at Lingfield and has scope for further progress but is tough to assess as she's yet to race on Turf. Bolly Bullet has headgear applied for the first time and Hollie Doyle booked but SPANISH STAR is admirably consistent and seemed to relish the step up to 7f at Newbury so gets the nod.
