PRINCESS SHABNAM found life tough in Listed company at Kempton last time. Keith Dagleish’s filly had made all over 6f at Yarmouth before that and can defy a penalty at this lower level. Poppy Petal has something to find with the selection on these terms having come up short in handicaps recently while the remaining trio have yet to threaten though Dalglish finished closer at Beverley last week and may improve further.
