Verdict

A poor maiden in which ROMANTIC QUEEN drinks in the last chance saloon with Flamsteed and Sonhador respected. Ed Dunlop's charge has not been without support at the races in the past so her long suffering backers will be desperate for some sort of return on investment. Six furlongs suits and she should be thereabouts again. Flamsteed has to be respected given the form of the Mark Johnston stable. He does not have any fancy entries at this stage in his career. Sonhador failed to oblige when with Peter Winkworth but wasn't too far away in a recent Kempton claimer. Agean Dancer is very much bred with a mile in mind. Valid Royal will be eligible for handicaps beyond this race so we'll take more of a view at that stage. Fantasy Gladiator has shaped as if needing further. A race that wont take a lot of winning and Romantic Queen looks best equipped to do so.
