What happened in the Kensington Palace Stakes last year?
VILLANOVA QUEEN proved suited by the step back up in distance and, although making her ground wider than anything else in the straight, she kept out of trouble and showed improved form on this handicap debut. Don’t Tell Claire, sixth in this from stall 16 last year, fared better from an even higher berth, making her ground wide but only beaten by a less-exposed sort. Tarrabb, who matched the pick of her turf form when second on reappearance (AW), ran well back up in trip returned to turf in the first-time tongue-tie, despite running out of room at a crucial stage.
