12/1

Devoted Queen (1/2), Ahlain (4/1), Les Bleus (13/2), Marcella (12/1), Twisted Tiara (80/1)

The regally-bred DEVOTED QUEEN made an impressive winning debut at Newmarket in the autumn and rates as the best prospect in this field, so is fancied to make a successful comeback with bigger prizes surely in her sights further down the line. Ahlain is proving steadily progressive and appeals as best of the rest, though Les Bleus would also hold sound claims on the pick of her juvenile form.
