Hard to know what brought about ROODEE QUEEN's recent poor effort at Newcastle as she'd been in fine form before that. She won a seller at Wolverhampton last month and can take this if back to her best. Today's opposition are hardly firing on all cylinders though Fifth In Line and Loves Theme have claims on their best form earlier this year, while Titan Diamond may do better dropping down to this level for the first time. Reachtothestars and Local Diktator are regulars in these events but rarely get their heads in front.
