Crimewave placed over track and trip before well beaten over 1m2f while Sceptred Isle drops down to a mile for the first time. Tahitian Prince went close in maiden company when last at this venue and is preferred to Lady Eleanor but DRAMATICA gets a speculative vote. She returned to action with a second over 7f in testing going at Leicester and should be better suited by today’s conditions making her handicap debut
