Looked a useful prospect when winning novices here (1¼m) and Haydock (11.5f) on first 2 starts. Bit disappointing when upped to listed level at Newmarket (1½m) last month but still early days and could resume her progression now handicapping. Her yard has won this race twice since 2019.
|
Firmly on the up now when winning her first 3 handicaps. Her run of improvement came to an abrupt halt when last of 8 at Ascot last month but that was too bad to be true and her mark still looks workable judged on the form she showed when winning by 5 lengths at Windsor on her penultimate outing.
|
All 3 starts on AW, winning a 1m Newcastle novice in January and even better form when second at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 5 months later, caught further back than ideal. Likely more to come now handicapping on turf.
|
Course winner. Recent efforts respectable but surely vulnerable to at least a couple of the half dozen 3yos she takes on here.
|
Confirmed previous promise when winning 1¼m course novice in June. Bit disappointing when a remote fourth on her handicap debut back here (1¼m again) since. Now steps up to 1½m in a bid to get back on track.
|
Career best when winning Epsom handicap (1½m) last month and has backed that up when placed at Newbury and Ascot since. Likely to give another good account.
|
Made all in handicap at Wetherby (1¼m) in June and has run to a similar level on all 3 outings since. Will need to pull out a bit more for the step up to 1½m

Forecasts
Truthful (13/8), Mistral Star (10/3), Flash Bardot (4/1), Queen Regent (4/1), Alpina Express (16/1), Flight Of Angels (18/1), Wilderness (25/1)
Although QUEEN REGENT's ability to handle turf has to be taken on trust she very much shapes like one who should have more to come now handicapping over further and is preferred to Truthful, who can get her career back on track with her sights lowered. The reliable Flash Bardot is another likely to be in the shake-up.
- Queen Regent4/1
- Truthful13/8
- Flash Bardot4/1
