Verdict

AL QAYSIYYA bounced back from a lesser effort when runner-up to the odds-on favourite at Kempton 12 days ago and, with her leading yard among the winners, she could be ready to get off the mark. Loving Queen was below-par on her latest outing but is worth another chance in first-time blinkers, with newcomer Celestique completing the shortlist.
