Crown Princess won this last year from a 2lb higher mark and will have come on for last month's Beverley run. Casilli has won six from 18 starts but wouldn't want the ground any softer while Ripon maiden winner Nigwa may not have handled Tapeta on her reappearance. MY LITTLE QUEENS gained her fifth career victory at Chelmsford and though unable to match strides with Vallamorey at Doncaster had the remainder well beaten and can return to winning ways though there are plenty of dangers in a wide-open handicap.
