Crown Princess came with a late burst to gain a surprise victory over 1m1f here then ran very well over this trip at Doncaster where she didn't quite get the run of the race. AMANZOE battled to a narrow victory at Leicester before beaten a neck in a better race at Haydock on Saturday for which she's been raised 5lb. However, she can race off her old mark here so looks well in. Ayr Empress is 3lb higher than her victory in a Class 4 handicap at Musselburgh while Sophiesticate is still a maiden and needs to find a bit more in this company.
