PRINCESS YAIZA is rated 105 based on her excellent form in 2018 which culminated in a Group 2 victory at Longchamp. She missed the whole of last year but made an encouraging reappearance behind the in-form Bowerman at Dundalk in January and should improve enough to take this. Camphor hails from a yard in outstanding form and is well up to this level judging by her narrow defeats at Naas and Galway in the autumn. She'll be suited by further rain and looks certain to give a good account. Loveisthehigherlaw was only just behind in that Naas Listed contest. That was only her third start and she had beaten Camphor on her debut there should be little between the pair. Heliac was 3-4 last year and, though stepping out of handicap company for the first time, deserves her shot at this grade while Fresnel only raced in pattern race company after her opening maiden success.
