Verdict

William Haggas won this race in 2020 and can repeat the feat with QUEEN AMINATU who has made big progress since last autumn and can take the step up to Group 3 level in her stride. Just Beautiful will be a threat if back close to her best on reappearance. Star Girls Aalmal looks best of the rest.
