Verdict

QUEEN OF THE COURT has made a positive start over fences, winning under this rider here last month before backing that up with a good third at Huntingdon, and she's taken to quickly resume winning ways in a race lacking depth. Doyannie left her chase debut/reappearance well behind when runner-up at Exeter and rates the main threat ahead of Caro des Flos.
