William Buick prefers Yarmouth third Leading Spirit to odds-on Newbury failure Fly The Nest but his mount will need to take a big step forward. QUEEN OF BERMUDA (NAP) landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Thirsk after a debut second at Ascot. She looks a sharp early-season type and is taken to defy her penalty at the main expense of Duke Of Hazzard, who caught the eye when fourth at York ahead of Mykindofsunshine and Leoube, though Clive Cox’ charge will no doubt improve for that run. Chuck Willis and Perfectly are newcomers worth a market check.
