PRESENTING A QUEEN lost her position at Newbury at one point in the race but produced a late flourish to win a shade cosily in the end. She may well defy a penalty on that evidence. Konigin Isabella represents last year’s winning yard but disappointed at Taunton on her latest start but Kentford Swansong looks a likely improver. Desert Fortune cost £80,000 having won between the flags in Ireland and is related to several winners under Rules.
