Verdict

None of these have much going for them but Red Carpet Queen did probably run her best race to date when third at Wolverhampton. ONALEDGE was just behind a subsequent winner at Sandown on her only previous run over 5f. Her dam handled soft going so Stuart Williams’ grey gets the nod. Myboymax was beaten in a seller last time at Newmarket but even that was a better race than this and he started favourite in two of his last three outings. Hotalena has hinted at ability but has only raced on fast ground so far.
