Plenty of collateral form on offer here with Little Knickers, Princess Livius and Duty Doctor all having crossed swords recently and it should be tight. Princess Livius doesn't look ideally drawn but we'll award her the vote. Both she and Little Knickers were held up from off the pace when finishing down the field at Kempton but both made up plenty of ground and weren't beaten far. Little Knickers has run four times since and got the better of Duty Doctor in first time blinkers on the most recent outing. She's effective on grass, is well handicapped on her old form and will be fancied to confirm the form. The selection has yet to race on grass but should handle the surface and Jamie Spencer has to be viewed as a positive booking for this hold-up performer despite a less than impressive record for the yard. Luminous Gold is interesting but you'd expect a daughter of Fantastic Light to need a stiffer test than this whilst the race-fit pair of Leading Edge and Red Amaryllis, as well as Tina's Best, all have to be considered but we'll come back to Princess Livius for our selection.
