Strangerontheshore has won twice around here and looked in good form on fast ground at Hamilton. Crown Princess is another track and trip winner who has been performing in better handicaps since returning from a break. Forward Flight has been performing with credit and her yard continues in good form but BELTANE can give the weight away. Mick Appleby's charge was narrowly beaten into third here last month then was caught on the line at Wetherby last week. The lightly-raced Nawras has been finding 1m4f much too far and may be capable of better.
