Presenting A Queen³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 110

8/13

Runner-up in a point last autumn and looked potentially useful when going one better in a Newbury bumper on Rules debut last month. Capable of defying a penalty.

Form: 21

Claire As Mud^p1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: J M Quinlan| T: Miss A Murphy

25/1

14/1, looked green when last of 7 on Market Rasen debut 40 days ago, although the fact cheekpieces are quickly reached for suggests connections think there may have been more to it than simply inexperience.

Form: 7

Desert Fortune⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams

3/1

£80,000 buy after easily winning her second start in Irish points in January. The obvious threat to Presenting A Queen.

Form: 21

Dunatara³⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-12| J: M Goldstein| T: Mrs D Grissell

300/1

100/1, last of 9 on Fontwell debut 5 weeks ago. Can only be watched after that.

Form: 9

Kentford Swansong⁵⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Daniel Sansom⁽³⁾| T: J W Mullins

14/1

Related to a few winners. Offered something to work on when eight of 10 on her Wincanton debut but not enough to suggest she's likely to go close here.

Form: 8

Konigin Isabella^t⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-4| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| BF

6/1

Only modest form when third on first 2 starts and she was a bit disappointing when fading into fifth at Taunton (2m) last time. The longer trip here isn't certain to play to her strengths.

Form: 335

Forecasts

Presenting A Queen (8/13), Desert Fortune (3/1), Konigin Isabella (6/1), Kentford Swansong (14/1), Claire As Mud (25/1), Dunatara (300/1)

PRESENTING A QUEEN created a good impression when winning at Newbury and should take all the beating for in-form Chris Gordon unless point recruit Desert Fortune turns out to be well above average.
