1/1

Steadily progressive filly who looked suited by this longer trip when off the mark at Newbury 16 days ago, showing a good attitude to hold on. Third has won since and only 2 lb higher here.

Forecasts

Queen's Companion (1/1), Double Red (9/4), Sudbury Hill (9/2), Orchard (17/2)

QUEEN'S COMPANION is a 3-y-o who's going the right way and she's taken to defy a 2 lb rise after her win at Newbury. Orchard has returned from his absence better than ever and is feared most under a good-value apprentice.
