The step up in trip to the extended 7f at Beverley may have come too soon for ABSOLUTE QUEEN and she faded in the closing stages. Beaten only a neck over course and distance on her earlier debut, she gets another chance. Cheeky Maxi is upped in trip after a better effort at Newmarket and is preferred to stablemate Gaallib while Chuck Taylor finished closer at Hamilton and can figure. Little Hug is a likely improver for her in-form yard.
