Showed next to nothing in handicaps at Yarmouth on heavy and firm ground so hopes here basically pinned on change of surface and/or new headgear having transformative effect.

Kingman entire a winner at Lingfield in March and close up fourth at Doncaster latest off today's mark ought to put him in the mix here for his prolific yard whose horses generally progress with experience.

Twice raced filly by Gleneagles who has made an excellent start as a sire. Fifth and fourth placed finishes in AW 6f novices late last year suggested she could win at this sort of level and on breeding the extra 1f ought to help; interesting.

Some progress in second start but ultimately well held at Newmarket in finishing a nine-length fourth of eight. Handicaps will suit better but opening mark no gift.

Zoffany filly well-beaten in all three starts to date showing little in the finish of those races to suggest that even in the first-time hood she is worth having an interest in.

Not disgraced in any of her three two-year-old starts which culminated in a sixth of 15 over C&D in a novice race. Interesting she's had a wind-op and one to note in the market here.

Still a maiden but gone close on several occasions including ½L third at Thirsk latest over this trip where he led from 2f out until the last 50 yards. Up 1lb but less exposed rivals would be the biggest concern.

Best effort to date when mid-field in a 7f novice at Newmarket on penultimate start. Opening mark is stiff on what he's achieved, and he must improve to make an impact.

Heavy ground Nottingham winner at two finished a neck second at Thirsk penultimately over 7f before a fourth over 6f at Hamilton when looking like he wanted a revert to this trip. Draw a worry but interesting in the first-time blinkers.

Three starts last season for Jane Chapple-Hyam and gelded prior to joining current yard. Out of his depth at Newmarket on return and unless the hood changes his fortunes he again looks set to struggle.

Showed little in Ireland and never involved after rearing at the stalls at Yarmouth last month. Need to see a glimmer before getting involved.

Combination of a step up to 7f and first-time hood (retained here) saw her off the mark at the seventh time of asking at Wolverhampton last time out and having only gone up 3lb she rates a big player again here.

Much improved form when switched to the Fibresand at Southwell early this year where she won twice before finishing second. Earlier form on this surface less compelling but can't be ignored despite stall 16.

Six-race maiden placed twice including third of seven at Yarmouth over 6f latest. This looks deeper so others make greater appeal.

Verdict

Although she is making her three-year-old debut here a chance is taken on QUEEN'S COURSE for the high-percentage William Haggas yard. She showed ability in both starts over 6f but is bred to improve for a step up in trip and her trainer's fillies genuinely take a notable step up at three so she is worth chancing in a wide-open contest. Recent Wolverhampton winner Cliff Wind hasn't been harshly treated so she looks a big danger and Mark Johnston's Almqvist is another worthy of respect.
