ROMANY PRINCESS is the form pick to land the finale with both Valatrix and Orange Pip worth noting. The selection is four pounds higher in the weights since winning on her latest outing back in November. She comes from a yard bang in form this season and if she can recapture her best on her seasonal reappearance then she will take all the beating. Valatrix runs off the same mark as she did when finishing second to Jord at Wolverhampton last month. She does have the benefit of a run, therefore she is respected. Orange Pip showed promise last season, but has to put two disappointing runs behind her so is possibly best watched for the time being. So for the winner we return to Romany Princess.
