      Verdict

      QUEEN OF DESIRE is hard to oppose in this. Roger Varian’s filly dotted-up by eight lengths over track and trip last time and a penalty is unlikely to anchor her in this company. Party Dancer drops down to the minimum trip for the first time and looks best of the remainder though that’s not saying much given Sparkalex and Invincible Pursuit have yet to figure and the newcomer Billy Bot cost only £600 and wears a tongue-tie on her debut.
