VALLEY OF THE QUEENS found stablemate Desert Blossom too good at Newmarket last time but should hold off today's stable companions Tessarini and Chittenden to open her account. Centred looks the main threat on her debut third at Kempton unless Kikonga steps up on her form to date. The Peter Chapple-Hyam pair, Funky Cold Medina and Hermosa Vaquera, showed little on their introductions but Perfect Pose is expected to improve while Fillies' Mile entry Muthmera is one to note on her racecourse debut.
