        In depth

        Verdict

        Queen's Pudding, Namroc and Fantasy Believer are the three that catch the eye here and Queen's Pudding is taken to extend the successful run of the Fanshawe-Spencer partnership. Namroc showed good form to be second twice at the start of the season but has disappointed twice since and is probably best watched on this occasion. Fantasy Believer has shown glimpses of form at Epsom and Goodwood recently, and his trainer rates him highly. The booking of Kieren Fallon will assist his cause. Queen's Pudding won comfortably on her Nottingham debut and a number of those behind have won since. The Fanshawe yard is going well and rated 85, Queen's Pudding can win this en route to bigger things.
