Race Summary

This can go the way of GRANARY QUEEN, who was narrowly denied at Bath last time out and should be suited by the extra half a furlong here. The five-year-old has gone well on undulating tracks in the past and is preferred to the likes of Kensington Agent, as well as Frankness, who hinted at a return to form when staying on late over this trip at Chester last month.

Win: GRANARY QUEEN
