CANARIA QUEEN has had a good spell since the middle of the summer and is the most solid option in a race where most have something to prove. In Papa Don't Preach's case that's peak fitness after a break as he was very much in form when last seen in June. Fortunate Star is also dangerous to dismiss having dipped to the mark he defied at Haydock in July.
