In depth

Verdict

Both of Silent Escape's victories have been on Tapeta, making all over this trip at Newcastle last time from a previous winner. There should be more to come while Iconic Queen raced in much better company than this after her Chester victory though has a long absence to overcome. Arabian Romance has never raced over a trip this short having scored over a mile at Yarmouth before headed inside the final furlong over that trip at Windsor. Mutahamisa won twice on Polytrack at the turn of the year though the vote goes to COUL QUEEN, despite an 8lb rise for beating subsequent winner Ugo Gregory over the trip at Chester
