In depth
Verdict
QEETHAARA is on a roll and a hat-trick isn't out of the question as she's only been raised a further 3lb since scoring at Pontefract. She had Bold Cross behind at Warwick earlier and, with Bold Marc likely to set a strong gallop, should have the race run to suit and can get the better of Ginger Grey who had Master Of Dance behind when runner-up to Shadowtime at Beverley last time. Spavento has a penalty for scoring at Ayr, but Bella Noir is gradually coming down the weights though has never won over this trip.
