Upped to 1m, QUEEN'S REIGN continued her progress when making her second handicap start a winning one at Goodwood last time and she can score again with the potential of further improvement to come. A pair of handicap debutantes could be the main dangers, with the well-bred Islanova feared most ahead of Mercury Day.
