Hillfinch, who prefers soft ground, was well beaten on her reappearance and also disappointed on her final start last season. It’s two years since Admiral's Sunset ran over hurdles and Sorbet has been out of sorts for a while. MULLENBEG has been slow to come to hand over timber but she won by 10 lengths at Plumpton and has the speed to cope with this sharp track. Princess T is in fine form but has gone up another 7lb and Sawpit Sienna has gone up 10lb for winning over 2m4f here in a lower grade while the going maybe too quick for Cup Of Coffee.
