Forecasts

Queen Power (11/8), Matterhorn (3/1), Desert Encounter (4/1), Star Of Bengal (9/2), Accidental Agent (12/1)

Although only one of the last 10 winners of this race was a three-year-old, this is a weak renewal and hands Queen Power with a good chance to get back on the right path. The selection found her energy sapped by the 1m4f trip in the Group 1 Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot in June but her only previous run at this distance is rock solid and, with her yard enjoying a near twenty per cent current strike-rate, this daughter of Shamardal has a lot going for her. Accidental Agent and Desert Encounter look the pick of the opposition with the first named fancied to pose the most potent threat.
