Verdict

Queen's Logic puts her classic credentials on the line here, and is difficult to oppose. She remains unbeaten after a sparkling juvenile campaign, culminating in a devastating victory in the Cheveley Park Stakes. There may not be too much value in backing her today, but only a brave man would oppose her. Roundtree looks the pick of Richard Hannon's pair, and was only three quarters of a length behind Queen's Logic in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, so could once again chase her home.
