In depth
Verdict
QUEEN AMINATU was beaten only a head over 7f here on her debut. This shorter trip will suit and the Haggas yard have a good strike rate at the track. The returning Fast And Loose and Ba Na Hills are others dropping down in distance but Fraulein Margot finished runner-up over today’s trip at Lingfield and can figure again. Fly To Glory is out of a winner on the all-weather and is a newcomer to note.
