In depth
Verdict
Mercurist and Parknacilla were both placed at this lowly level at Kempton on their respective latest starts with the latter finishing in front of Rivas Rob Roy. Red Skye Delight and New Look filled the places over track and trip last month, with Windsorlot and Rochford further behind, but NOBLE QUEEN looks the one to side with. She landed one of these events over a mile before going close over a longer trip here last time - another bold bid is expected from Ed Walker’s mare.
