        Verdict

        Apache Ridge and Frequency are closely matched on recent running and it would be no surprise if either popped up in this contest. Polemica won twice here last month but has a bit to find at the weights with the principals and preference is for ROMANTIC QUEEN. She has registered all four wins to date over this C&D and George Baker's mare is fancied to take advantage of today's favourable terms and add to her tally. Sharp Shoes would have every chance if taking part but was engaged to run at Wolverhampton yesterday.
