In depth

Verdict

Queenie's Star finished just ahead of Fonterutoli when runner-up here last week. That pair are hard to separate in this while Matraash has to come into the reckoning on his recent placed efforts at Wolverhampton. ANGELENA BALLERINA won at the same track in March and went very close again off today's mark last time. Sean Curran's mare gets the tentative vote in a tight handicap. The veteran Lytham ran below par last time but is still capable of making his presence felt at this level.
