Verdict

CUE'S BEAU was below par tried over a mile again at Chelmsford last time but she is of strong interest back down in trip and returned to turf. Indeed, she was a wide-margin winner of a Nottingham maiden on her sole previous start away from the all-weather last spring and has slipped to an attractive mark. The testing conditions may have counted against Al Muqdad at Catterick on his latest appearance and he is second choice with better ground forecast here. Kalganov is also worth a second look.
