Several have plenty to prove over this far including Newcastle runner-up Ritchie Star while Rosemay recorded last summer’s double over a mile. My Valentino is another upped in trip having won three times in Scotland last year but QUEEN MIA has placed over 1m3f in the past. She’ll need to improve on last week’s third at Leicester but today’s softer going may help on that score and she gets a tentative vote with an apprentice also taking 7lb off her back.
