Verdict

Strictly on the book BRIERY QUEEN has a few pounds to find in order to land this but her current rate of improvement suggest she can take this in her stride. There were some highly regarded and well handicapped mares behind her at Cheltenham. She won with a lot in hand that day and is taken to account for Lifeboat Mona who won a weak looking race at Ascot last time. Her record stands at five wins from eight starts but she is yet to meet anything of this calibre. Midnight Jazz is another progressive mare who will make her presence felt in an open looking contest. 1. Briery Queen 2. Lifeboat Mona 3. Midnight Jazz
