In depth
Verdict
Machiavellian Lady won over track and trip last time but beat QATAR MOON by only a nose. The latter re-opposes on more favourable terms and can reverse running. The African Queen carries a penalty for an earlier success at Brighton having ran in Listed company last time while Queues Likely recorded her earlier win over the minimum trip at Windsor and Wolverhampton third Tayala is preferred. Calm Waters is a sister to a winner and a half-sister to a couple of others and is preferred to Spirit Charmer of the newcomers.
