Selected odds by:
In good form and thrived for this yard last year winning on her debut at Bath on a small field on quick ground. Showed improved form on her seasonal reappearance winning over 5f at Brighton but takes a big rise in grade here and would have to have improved again.
Her Listed form this year would give her a chance in this and she once again hit the frame in this company at Haydock. More than effective at this minimum trip and the yard make a welcome return to the track having shut for the past few weeks.
Would have not looked out of this on her progressive form last year but hasn't looked to be in anything like the same form this year and hard to see her getting involved here based on her 2017 form.
Below form so far this year and you have to go back to last year for a win at York handicap to find her best form and others would be more fancied here.
Fairly useful in handicaps (best run when third at Redcar this year) but takes a big step up in class here and likely to be outclassed.
Tried in Listed company on her debut for this yard last time out and didn't perform badly over 6f. The drop back to 5f should suit her rather better but would have work to do on the official ratings to win this.
Cheekpieces go on for the first time and she was well held on her debut for this yard last time again in a Listed race and will find this a similarly tough test.
From a yard that are in good form she has shown some useful the last twice in Listed company. This 5f trip is rather an unknown though and she might find herself tapped for foot.
On of four three-year-olds in the field she only scored in a maiden last time out on her second start and although she still has some improvement in her she will need to find that here. Not totally written off as she quickened well there and still looks unexposed.
Formerly trained in Ireland she shaped nicely on her debut for this yard over 5f in a handicap at Chester; travelled well and nearest at the finish. Very much best at 5f and remains with a lot of potential from a shrewd yard that can punch above their weight and an interesting contender having been tried in Group races.
Winner over 5f on three occasions last year (very speedy) and posted her best effort this year when second in a Catterick handicap. Has more on her plate here though and handicaps will offer her more chance of success.
Far and away the best of these on official ratings having nearly a stone in hand and she has shown some smart form having scored three times over sprint trips last year including the Group 2 Lowther at York. Highly tried this year in two Group contests and will appreciate this ease in grade.
Forecasts
Queen Kindly (7/4), Futoon (7/2), Spring Fling (6/1), Mayfair Lady (7/1), Cosmopolitan Girl (12/1), Merry Banter (14/1), Olivia Fallow (20/1), Mayleaf Shine (20/1), Fortitude (22/1), Glenrowan Rose (25/1), Rural Celebration (33/1), Shrill (40/1)
This really ought to be a race that sees QUEEN KINDLY back on the winning trail given how far clear she is of the rest on the ratings having been highly tried in her two runs so far this year. It may well be that the best race is for second with Futoon having shown up well in this grade before although it may well be Mayleaf Shine who can take the runner-up slot after looking to have some further improvement. The Doncaster maiden winner Fortitude is probably the most interesting of the bigger prices.
