Leg 1 Selections: Looking For Queen, Star Music, She’s Quality

LOOKING FOR QUEEN made a promising debut when fourth at York and, with normal progression, she could go well. The same can also be said about STAR MUSIC who also displayed plenty of ability on debut, finishing third at Salisbury and could emerge as a leading candidate. Owner Mr Jaber Abdullah has an excellent chance with both these runners in the opener. SHE’S QUALITY is likely to prove hard to beat after placing in all three starts to date.

Leg 2 Selections: This Time Maybe, She Wore No Jewels

THIS TIME MAYBE is related to several winners and has plenty of scope to build on his runner-up at Windsor, in which he travelled well and was only beaten three parts of a length considering he hung badly left. If he can keep his mind on the job this time, he will surely go close again. SHE WORE NO JEWELS was beaten a long way into fourth last time but is better judged on her debut third and cannot be discounted.

Leg 3 Selections: Lord Uhtred

LORD UHTRED would have probably needed his latest run at Kempton given it was his first run in three months and he had previously ran well in a pair of class 2 events beforehand, including here, in a race that has worked out well. He could make a mockery of this mark off 81 at this grade and is confidently the only choice in this race.

Leg 4 Selections: Classic 

The Richard Hannon-trained CLASSIC was outclassed on his return in the Greenham but he won a decent race at Sandown two starts ago and backed that up with a fine fourth at Newbury last-time-out. He was given too much to do in that race but is down in grade from the exact same mark and should be competitive.

Leg 5 Selections: Sailing On, Graham 

SAILING ON has a superb pedigree being a son of the high-class New Approach, as well as being related to an Oaks winner. He has made steady progress so far in his career and went very close at Lingfield last time despite doing plenty wrong. He can have a major impact in this contest, while GRAHAM has been in great form this year with a win and three seconds and should again be thereabouts.

Leg 6 Selections: Yamalia Star, Bloomwithgrace

YAMALIA STAR wasn’t beaten far when fourth of 12 at Roscommon last week and has shaped as though this trip could be ideal. The first-time cheekpieces will be enlisted and connections have booked James Doyle to ride. Her form is rock-solid and therefore she has to enter calculations with the best of her to come. She is far more appealing than most in this field. BLOOMWITHGRACE has yet to run a bad race, who has placed in four of her six starts and ran with credit in her other two starts. She is a big player.
