Verdict
Seren Cwmtudu had little chance in a Grade 2 at Ascot after landing a novices' event at Taunton and this is more her class. Kaituna scored at Plumpton in November and ran well in a handicap there last month. She should give a good account but AM I BLUE looks the one to be on as she is fit from the Flat and looked a nice staying prospect when completing a double at Hereford and Newton Abbot in September. The best is yet to be seen of the lightly-raced Kings Queen, a winner between the flags in Ireland and showing a little promise in her three starts for Tom George.
