Mullady Princess is narrowly preferred to Danny The Dip and Neardown Express. Mullady Princess is a rare visitor to the track for Anne Duffield and with a long journey down from North Yorkshire and the booking of Seb Sanders, the hint is taken. The daughter of Mull Of Kintyre has no problems with fast ground and should be capable of giving a good account of herself if handling the surface. Danny The Dip is proven around here and should not be overlooked despite some modest form figures. He is beginning to look exposed although the hope is that he is reinvigorated by a return to the track. Neardown Express defied her odds to finish close-up to a useful sort in a Lingfield maiden. There is probably more to come and he is unlikely to 50/1 on this occasion. Thoughtsofstardom has the plot draw of one this afternoon so the market is watched to see if there are any signs of confidence. Watch Out Jess has failed to trouble the judge in eight starts although some hope could be gleaned from a staying on effort over six furlongs last month. The market could offer most clues in what appears to be a tightly knit handicap and we shall side with Mullady Princess.
