Verdict
Several of these have been busy over the summer and are hoping to cash in here while going remains good. Princess T was behind Addosh and the dual Bangor winner Simply Red at Market Rasen but won this last year and Hiconic chased home the subsequent Cheltenham winner Our Champ at Plumpton in September. Ooh Betty won at Uttoxeter and Ludlow in the spring but PUFFIN BAY (NAP) won in a higher grade at Wincanton in April and could be a flag-bearer for her up-and-coming yard this term. Bonttay has yet to finish outside the first two in four starts over timber so shouldn’t be ignored while Georgi Girl beat the subsequent course and distance winner Jaminska at Ludlow last December, though is worse off at the weights today. Well Vicky did well last season but may need this.
