Stablemates On The High Tops and Thornaby Princess were both unplaced in this last year. Ruth Carr runs two but Jane Elliott’s mount KINGSTREET LADY looks the pick on her second at Thirsk 12 days ago. She should take all the beating from a decent draw if the blinkers work a second time, though she is closely matched with Culloden on the form book. Compton River almost always runs well here and will strip fitter for a run at Wetherby so looks the pick of the remainder.
