Verdict
Queen Aggie runs her best races around here and is back on the Tapeta for the first time since third in a handicap in April. Tony Carroll's mare must be in the firing-line but we just prefer veteran SEEK THE FAIR LAND. He came right back to form at Kempton last week and was placed on his last visit here. This looks a stronger heat than the one in which Bush Beauty finished third over 7f here last week while Commanche also appears to have a bit to find at the weights but Houdini has been in good form on Turf and should make his presence felt.
