Verdict
The progressive MALEFICENT QUEEN is held in high regard by her trainer. She has her first start since scoring at Carlisle in May but may well be ahead of the handicapper if entries in the Cambridgeshire and Champion Fillies & Mares is anything to go by. Heavens Eyes has her sights lowered after failing to land a hat-trick when well beaten in Listed company in France while Miss Van Gogh's winning run came to an end in this grade at Doncaster. Lamyaa is preferred to Next Stop after a second at Bath but Our Time Will Come is less exposed and steps up in class after scoring at Beverley last month.
