Verdict

BROWN BULLET was well ahead of A Little Chaos at Doncaster earlier this month and, though the latter should strip fitter here, can confirm the form and prove the answer to a tight little contest. Sorbet is a long-standing maiden who will almost certainly find at least one too good again but Princess T was in good form in the autumn, though hasn’t raced since November. Belle De Manech was pulled up at Sandown last month but this is a lot less competitive and she was second here in January after winning at Wincanton on Boxing Day.
