      Verdict

      NORTHERN QUEEN’s run at Redcar was too bad to be true. Brian Ellison turns her out again quickly here with cheekpieces added and she may recoup losses. Avenue Of Stars was a 33/1 chance at Kempton a week ago but won easily so a double is not out of the question under a penalty. Krazy Paving’s recent run should have blown away a few cobwebs while Tawaafoq is only a pound higher than when second at Chepstow. Kraka is 7lb lower than on the all-weather so looks best of the rest.
