Queen Roslyn⁴⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: A Mullen| T: B Ellison| OR: 45

Forecasts

Agathon (9/4), Star Legend (5/2), Stellarmasterpiece (9/2), Stand Strong (11/2), Gastronomy (17/2), Queen Roslyn (9/1)

STAR LEGEND ran up to his best when scoring comfortably in an apprentices' event at Chelmsford last week and he looks to hold leading claims without a penalty for that success. He can see off the challenge of Agathon, who has been in good form since the application of cheekpieces, while dual course winner Stellarmasterpiece could also be in the mix.
