Verdict

An interesting renewal of this Grade 2 rerouted from Sandown. KINGSTON QUEEN comfortably saw off subsequent Grade 2 scorer Kripticjim on her Chepstow hurdling bow and then faced a very stiff task attempting to match strides with the hugely exciting Old Park Star at Cheltenham, so she's an appealing candidate moving back in trip against her own sex for the first time in this sphere. White Noise is progressing notably well and rates a big threat, with Irish-raider Good Girl Kathleen also feared.
