ALFIE’S PRINCESS looks to defy a penalty for winning at Chepstow on last month’s hurdling debut but may well do so given she had the re-opposing Endless Supply well behind in third. Kit's Coty was still going well when hampered and losing her rider at Ludlow while Queen Annie won a bumper back in March and Lady Balko and Annie Express are point-to-point winners debuting under rules.
