In depth

Verdict

Fozzy Stack has made a fine start to the Turf season so expect a big run from his very speedily-bred newcomer Court Queen, a daughter of Choisir out of a smart sprinter. PIOUS ALEXANDER made a very encouraging debut at the Curragh in June and though the long absence is a concern that's the best form on offer so she gets the vote. Florida Times has a fitness advantage after her opening run here a couple of weeks ago though she looked in need of another furlong. Catamaran showed some pace in the latter race and should do better.
