PRINCESS COOKIE failed to get the easiest of trips over 5f last time when racing wider than ideal but still had enough to get her head in front at the line. She won her maiden over today's trip earlier and there should be even to come from her. The same comment also applies to recent Wolverhampton maiden winner Big Amigo while A Momentofmadness kept good company last year and will find this easier. Jazz Legend and Heraldic are also worth a second glance returning to action while Gorokai beat Dark Side Princess at Chelmsford in January and finished ahead of the latter again when placed on his latest start.
Heraldic (USA) 8-1 (9-7) Took keen hold, prominent, ridden and one pace over 1f out, no extra inside final furlong, 6th of 9, 4 1/4l behind Spennithorne (9-4) at Chelmsford City 6f (4) pol in Sep.
Jazz Legend (USA) 6-1 (9-7) Raced wide in touch, ridden halfway, weakened final furlong, last of 7, 5 3/4l behind Misu Moneypenny (8-2) at Chelmsford City 5f (4) pol in Sep.
A Momentofmadness 33-1 (8-11) Set strong pace until headed over 1f out, faded final furlong, 11th of 18, 4 3/4l behind Tasleet (9-2) at York 6f stks (2) gs in Aug.
Tikthebox (IRE) 16-1 (9-0) Always towards rear, 11th of 12, 33 1/2l behind Kassia (9-5) at Pontefract 6f (4) gd in Oct.
