      Verdict

      Winter Queen has returned a losing favourite on a couple of occasions since landing a double last year so stablemate Austin Friars is preferred. But the latter is worse off with third-placed Let Right Be Done after winning at Lingfield last month. It's too soon to write off maiden winners Logorrheic and Elle Dorado but handicap debutant VIRTUAL REALITY beat a subsequent winner to take a maiden at Kempton last time and also makes more appeal than Offshore.
