      Verdict

      Rising Star scored at Wolverhampton and Kempton before sent to Italy for a Group 2 where she didn't run badly on heavy ground. She returns after a long break as does Iconic Queen, who finished last in a Listed contest here in October after earlier scoring at Chester. THE FLYING GINGER's two victories have been on ground with plenty of give. She took a while to warm up at York last month but was going on at the finish and may be good enough. Turandot's Ayr victory came on fast ground, when Wootton Creek was five lengths behind, while Majestic Tejaan has shown her best form on Tapeta.
