      Verdict

      Lucayan has been in terrific form on the all-weather and has won on Turf. Ayr Empress has only gone up 3lb for a victory over course and distance 11 days ago but QUEEN’S FAIR looks a likely type running in her first handicap. She is a full sister to two winners, including the Breeders’ Cup heroine Queen’s Trust, so needs a win to boost her paddocks value - a switch to Turf could bring about massive improvement. Karatayka is best watched having her first run for new connections.
