Verdict
Caravan Queen won between the flags last summer and was second in a bumper on her debut under Rules. But she's been off the track for a while and may just need this. Preference is for MISS TENACIOUS, who ran well when fifth here in May and stepped up again to score over 2m1f at the track last month. This longer trip is unknown territory but she's heading in the right direction and has the champion to do the steering today. Our Guardian Angel is back over timber after being pulled up when favourite over fences at Wetherby last time. She can't be ignored, however, while Verde Goodwood only went down by half-a-length to Yvonne Evelyn at Southwell last month and looks sure to be in the firing-line again.
