The Platinum Queen was getting plenty of weight from her elders when winning last month’s Prix de l’Abbaye on testing ground at Longchamp. Persian Force finished runner-up in the Prix Morny and was just ahead of Mischief Magic when third in the Middle Park but Lady Hollywood finished behind DRAMATISED in the Lowther at York. Karl Burke’s filly disappointed upped to 6f on that occasion but she won the Queen Mary in good style earlier and is taken to confirm Ascot running with Love Reigns. The latter has subsequently landed a Listed sprint and Wesley Ward’s yard has won the last three renewals of this while Speed Boat Beach is unbeaten on the West Coast. Private Creed won over track and trip recently having earlier found Oxymore too good at Saratoga.
