In depth

Verdict

Silent Queen is proving best over the minimum trip and won over 5f at Southwell last time while It Just Takes Time also scored over the same distance here last month and is 9lb higher. Kempton winner Elusive Treat takes on tougher opposition though an apprentice’s allowance negates a 5lb rise while Global Vision also faces a more difficult task after scoring over 7f at the track. Novice winner CARIBBEAN SUNSET (NAP) struggled under a penalty last time but is a likely improver now handicapping so the Crisfords' colt gets the vote.
