FASHION QUEEN has the best chance in this. She was beaten a length in better company at York on her debut and that is stronger form than Mama Africa’s second at Ripon. Kodiac Khan showed little progress at Yarmouth last time and a newcomer may prove a bigger threat. Of those, Tranquil Daze is a speedily-bred half-brother to four winners and Cheerful Character is out of a winning sprinter. Parnassian is also related to a couple of winners abroad and is another to consider.
