Having won twice at Ffos Las since transferring to Rebecca Curtis, Special Princess goes for the hat-trick raised 10lb but faces no easy task facing two other recent winners. INCERTAINE overcame jumping errors to score in a higher grade at Market Rasen last month. The second and third have both placed again since so the form looks decent and Tom Gretton’s lightly-raced mare has only been raised 3lb. Truckers Cailin won over the trip at Ffos Las three weeks ago but has gone up 6lb but Chloe's Court has been getting closer and makes more appeal than Massini's Dream and the others.
