Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBrosna Queen is the selection, preferred to the top-rated Costanuci on a more progressive profile of form despite sitting only fourth in our order on 113. Costanuci, Arctic Flame and Early Bird all rate higher on paper and stand as the chief dangers, with Costanuci's figure of 118 the one to beat. Confidence here is moderate rather than rock-solid, but Brosna Queen's improving profile makes her the one to side with.
Racing Post pick: Brosna Queen
