        Verdict

        This looks quite trappy and from a shortlist of Rose Bien, McQueen and Let It Be we will side with Rose Bien as the pick. The selection is a course and distance winner and she arrives here in good form having been only narrowly beaten by Kasban last time out at Newmarket. She has no problems seeing out this trip and with the ground in her favour and her useful apprentice taking 5lbs off her back she makes plenty of appeal. McQueen went close here last time but he had the run of the race and it may have been a good opportunity missed for him to get his head in front. He should run his race tonight but the likelihood is he will have to settle for a minor role again. Let It Be goes well here and she suggested that she might be coming to hand when third behind McQueen last time. On these revised terms she should certainly reverse form with McQueen here and she should go close. Treetops Hotel is a capable performer on his day but he is better over a shorter trip and we will stick with Rose Bien to land the prize.
