Just her fourth outing so still early days; seems to be going the right way; finished in front of two of these at Vaal 25 days ago when involved in the finish in a maiden plate; likely to be a threat.

Appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and has maintained her consistent level of form; far from disgraced (beaten 2½l) in a maiden plate at Vaal last month.

Just held on her debut when beaten a neck in course maiden plate over 6f at 7-2 two weeks ago; receives weight-for-age allowance; should go well if reproducing initial effort and ground-saving trip a possibility from her draw.

Seems to be going the right way; respectable third in a maiden juvenile plate upped to this trip 37 days ago; hoping to take advantage of age allowance; in with a shout.

Verdict
The principals look evenly matched. Celtic Manor, with few miles on the clock, could be capable of better while Regal Queen is entitled to be in the mix. However, GIMMESUMLUV can prove superior. She was behind Be My Fate latest but can now overturn placings and ran with credit last time.
