The big step up in trip at Wetherby clearly suited WAYWOOD PRINCESS, who stayed on strongly on the run to the last having got briefly outpaced turning for home. Third Thorncliffer re-opposes on 5lb better terms here for four lengths but John Groucott's mare is fancied to confirm the form and complete a quick double. Winds Of War is now tried in a visor but has become disappointing while blinkers will have to improve The Tatkin if he's to get involved. Supreme Team is a long-standing maiden but has place prospects again after a fourth at Uttoxeter and Witch's Hat may be happier back over hurdles.
