THE TIMEFORM VIEW Having been much improved since joining Fergal O’Brien (successful on 5 of last 6 starts), QUEEN OF STEEL may well have been better suited by making it more of a test when runner-up over shorter at Ffos Las 8 days ago. The return to this C&D rates a definite plus and she’s a big player with Warren Fentiman taking off a very handy 5lb. 3-y-os New York Minute and Jedhi Knight both retain untapped potential over marathon trips and may emerge as the chief threats.
