      Verdict

      BABY QUEEN has to concede weight all round but Brian Baugh's mare has been in terrific form and is fancied to give another good account, despite having been raised a further 3lb for finishing second at Bath last time. Eastern Hills found a drop to the minimum no problem at Southwell last time but carries a 6lb penalty here and may be vulnerable back on turf while Grudge has more to do than when winning a Wolverhampton seller last month. Go Nani Go could be interesting, however, if reproducing his run at Doncaster three weeks ago.
