      Verdict

      Queen Power found only one too good in last year’s renewal but is proving hard to win with. Lavender's Blue returned to winning ways when landing a Listed race over a mile at Kempton last month when the less exposed FOORAAT (NAP) finished runner-up. But the latter is a full-sister to the high-class Benbatl and Roger Varian’s filly should have more to offer now tackling middle-distances for the first time and can come out best on this occasion. Listed winner Posted had the measure of Lady Bowthorpe at Sandown last season while Freyja looks best of the remainder.
