Verdict

There is plenty of pace drawn on the inside in this including Esken Rose, who attempted to make all when favourite at Pontefract. Origintrail did make all in maiden company at Ripon last time while Fabiosa and Pepper Streak are other front-runners likely to compete for the lead. That could set the race up nicely for PRINCESS SHABNAM, who has faced stiff tasks since winning a novices race at Catterick last autumn and will appreciate the drop in class. Torvi could also go well on her return to action.
