Hello Queen

9st 3lb

J: Shane Gray

T: Kevin Ryan

Two AW wins early in the year, one over C&D; made a winning turf debut at Doncaster in July and she ran well for third in a strong fillies' handicap at Pontefract in September (6f, good to soft); still open to improvement after just six runs and her rivals would be wise not to allow her too much rope up front.

Only raced on Tapeta so far, winning 6f novices at Wolverhampton in January and Newcastle in March; out of her depth in a valuable conditions event at the latter track the following month and now makes her handicap/turf debut after 111 days off; market may be helpful.

Leads or races prominently; kept to novice/maiden company in sprints, despite a (declining) mark on last four runs, and proving consistent but not progressive; has C&D form but remains to be seen how well treated she is now handicapping in first-time tongue-tie.

Well held on turf debut last October, but no reason on breeding why she won't prove effective on the surface; progression stagnated during her winter campaign and she's the most exposed here, if less so at 5f.
