Verdict

An open-looking renewal of this Fillies’ Listed race. Glenlaurel was highly tried after winning at Thirsk last year and shaped as though wanting further when fourth in this grade at Chelmsford. Clochette beat three subsequent winners at Ascot last July but hasn’t run since. Cheveley Park fifth Juliet Sierra won a Group 3 at Salisbury in September but is penalised for that. Silver Lady could be anything after a recent winning debut over a mile at Newmarket and William Haggas runs a couple of unbeaten fillies in Orchid Bloom and Fakhama. Sounds Of Heaven travels over from Ireland off the back of a first victory at Leopardstown and Stormy Sea and Urban Decay made winning reappearances at Haydock and Southwell respectively but a tentative vote goes to QUEEN FOR YOU, who won a shade cosily at Ascot despite running green. She is a full sister to the useful Love Is You and holds a Coronation Stakes entry.
