In depth
Verdict
QUEENLET (NAP) scored at Newbury on just her second start a year ago but has taken her time to find her feet this season. She pulled too hard when a close third at Newmarket earlier this month and looks the one to beat. Espressoo has been finding it difficult from her raised mark after completing a double in the spring while Floral Splendour has changed stables since an odds-on defeat at Wolverhampton. Emily Post's Carlisle victory was at a much lower level while Sound Of Iona is best on quick ground.
