QUEENS ROYALE has never won on Turf but there’s a good chance that this surface will suit the recent Leicester runner-up given she has won four times on the Fibresand at Southwell, including once off today’s mark. She's Pukka won on heavy going at Carlisle around this time last year and the four-year-olds may be a better bet than their younger rivals of which Raaqyah, fourth over 1m2f at Doncaster on her handicap debut, may be the pick. Twilight has picked up a penalty for last week’s win at Catterick but she makes more appeal than last month’s course and distance third Sheedy and the exposed Plansina.
