Just listened to the Betfair Podcast with Gordon Elliott and I think it’s telling how early Queens Brook is discussed.
They’d have agreed which horses to discuss and he clearly thinks a huge amount of her.
Talented, stated target, course form and apparently goes on all ground.
Whilst I think it’s folly to get stuck into this race too much in advance I think it’s this one that excites me most at this stage.

Queens Brook -
On the face of it, was disappointing just then.
But the other two might also end up in the mares novice. Don't think they were mugs.
She does look like she may need further though, and her price looks wrong on that basis as Willie will surely have some French horse with more class.
Obviously it could be bad ground in March I suppose.

Accurate to the millisecond.
To be fair. He mentioned she had a nice holiday (code for she's a fat cow)
So this is understandable, and backers will be pleased.
