Formscan  - Queen Of Steel has struck in five of her seven starts since joining the Fergal O'Brien yard, with three of those victories coming on the Flat, and she has to be considered. However, NEW YORK MINUTE wasn't beaten far into fourth on his handicap debut at Goodwood in June and now takes a big step up in distance. With any amount of improvement to come, he looks the way to go. Jedhi Knight completes the shortlist.
