Five-times winner Princess Power ran well in a much better race at York last time but was engaged in the 3.05 at Ripon yesterday. DENSE STAR (NAP) won a maiden when trained in Ireland and has been racing in very much stronger company since changing yards. Some rain wouldn't go amiss but her quality can see her home. Ey Up It's Maggie also takes a drop in class though is still 10lb higher than her victory at Carlisle in May. International Girl hasn't really progressed this season while the consistent Iris Dancer keeps going up in the ratings without winning.
