Racing Post verdict
Third-partyZiggy's Queen sets the fastest figures of these on paper, but Donna Nook's progressive profile — a recent win and rarely out of the frame since — earns the nod instead. Velvet Rhythm, fresh from three wins in five starts, and Rogue Citation, a solid two-starts-back winner but returning from a break, head the list of dangers. Donna Nook, fitter and clearly progressive, is our selection in an open-looking race that only merits modest confidence.
Racing Post pick: Donna Nook
