In depth
Verdict
College Queen was mightily impressive when winning last time out and can see off the likes of Columbine and Twilight Mistress in a cracking sprint contest. The selection blitzed a decent field last time out at Nottingham and although he has extra weight here he should still be too speedy for these. Columbine is a consistent enough sprinter and very capable on his day. He looks on a fair mark here and could give the selection most to do with conditions to suit. Twilight Mistress will be played late, but the feeling is College Queen will already have the race sewn up.
