Verdict

YORKSHIRE QUEEN finished a length and a place behind Homestrait when third at Musselburgh and reopposes on 2lb better terms. With Clifford Lee booked, the daughter of Inns Of Court could overturn that form to strike. Velvet Rhythm has gone off the boil slightly since completing a double at the chief expense of Homestrait over C&D in May and needs to bounce back.

Top Tip: Yorkshire Queen (7)
Watch out for: Velvet Rhythm (6)

The inconsistent YORKSHIRE QUEEN is only 1lb higher than when placing last time and is chosen to gain a first victory here. She isn't fully exposed over 7f and has a decent draw from which to attack. Velvet Rhythm is her likely competition for the lead and she is worth forgiving her latest run where she did too much too soon. She was in excellent form prior to that and looks the biggest danger to the selection. Homestrait has been in good form of late including over this C&D and should also be thereabouts at the finish.
