Verdict
Queue Up has the best form on offer and should make that count against Nisr, Priorina, Entertain and Barzak. This is a weak contest, and on the back of a couple of seconds over the course and distance of late, Queue Up should be capable of opening his account today. Those last two efforts were both in slightly stronger contests than this, and indeed Tony Newcombe's four-year-old was sent off as favourite on the latest of them just three days ago. He was put in his place by the other fancied runner Blushing Russian, but a similar effort here should be enough. Nisr was just touched off by Fonthill Road in a Newmarket handicap last August and would be something to bet on if repeating that run, but he has not yet despite being fitted with a tongue-tie on his last few starts. Nevertheless this drop in grade will help his cause and he appears to be the main danger. Priorina has gone close a couple of times on Turf and might be capable of a place at least, and both Entertain and Barzak are past course winners, but neither is in form at present. Queue Up has the best credentials of late and can pay to follow here.
