    In depth

    Verdict

    Ed Walker has his string in decent form at present and QUEEN OF COMEDY should be capable of building upon a recent success at Newbury. Marsh Benham appreciated a return to the Turf when scoring at Brighton and the switch to George Baker’s stables may have reawakened her enthusiasm for the game. Silvestre De Sousa has only one booked ride this afternoon so the Brazilian will hope that Moonlight Frolic will make his journey to Newbury a worthwhile one this afternoon.
