In depth
Verdict
Queen Of The Court won twice here last season but was pulled up on her only start this term. Miladygrace was a winner here in November and at Market Rasen last month. She’s gone up another 5lb but is much respected but we’ll take a chance that, with a visor replacing the usual blinkers, AUDITORIA can finally come good. Kym Eyre didn’t quite last home over 3m at Ffos Las and can’t be ignored.
