      In depth

      Verdict

      A chance is taken with Queens Hand, who gets the nod over Entertain, while the debutante Fragile Witness would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to figure for a place in this company. The last named is a full-brother to recent juvenile winner Tryandstopme, so it is not unfeasible to think that he can go well first time up. Watch the market where he is concerned. Entertain won a claimer on the All Weather last month and is entitled to respect on that form. She does need to prove her stamina over this extra furlong, though, and could be vulnerable today. Therefore, we take a chance with Queens Hand, who has already proved herself capable over slightly further but may be equally adept at this intermediate trip. The Alan Swinbank-trained filly is on a fair mark at present and could easily go on to a modest handicap if all goes well here.
