Verdict
Indus Valley will find this tougher than the seller he won here recently but QUEEN AGGIE drops in class after scoring over 7f at the track. She has won over further before and is preferred to Gannicus. The latter won off a similar mark over course and distance earlier this year while Double Czech won at Chepstow off a lower mark back in May. Collodi ran well on his return to the Flat at Leicester and is preferred to the temperamental Dream Tune.
