Sakhee's Jem is the only one of these with winning form at the track but she lacks a recent run, unlike FANTASY QUEEN. The going has been good to firm for both of her victories to date and she shaped with promise when third at Kempton on her reappearance. Sister Dude won at Ayr last year but it was soft ground on that occasion and she’s another returning from a winter holiday. Irish import The Yellow Bus wasn’t beaten far at Kempton in March, however, and is a pound lower here.
