Verdict

Shatin Princess is taken to land this moderate event. She takes a big step up in distance here, having raced mainly over sprint trips, but her dam was placed in Point To Points and she is also a half-sister to Holme Farm Boy, who stayed well, so this trip could well suit her. Magical Day looked as though she would improve for a step up in trip, when a staying on third at Leicester, but Minstrel Hall could prove to be the main danger, having run well under a big weight at Beverley.
