Verdict
Cabaret Queen has taken well to fences and is so far unbeaten. She’s up another 7lb but not have finished winning yet. Sizing Tennessee was placed twice in Grade 2 company last season but his best form has come on ground with some give. Capeland is taking a huge step up in distance and has plenty to prove in this company while Princeton Royale has looked in the handicapper’s grip since winning at Fakenham in June. ANTONY is 6lb lower than when a slightly unlucky third in this last year. A winner here in April, he has an enviable record on this track and can add to his tally today.
