      Verdict

      QUEEN OF DENMARK had little trouble opening her account at the first time of asking when beating a well backed favourite over 1m3f at Kempton. She's worth sticking with on her handicap debut. Follow The Flag is not easily overlooked as he had Mazij behind when winning at Southwell in December and has ran well since, while Brouhaha had gone close here before a disappointing effort last time. Countless Comet and Royal Opera have been in good form over timber and have claims back on the Flat.
