GRASPED made a winning start over course and distance in December and can continue winning ways for the Cecil yard. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and makes more appeal than recent winner Serenity Spa, who beat the re-opposing Skidby Mill over track and trip last month. Starlight Symphony punctuated her modest form with a decent second at Sandown last season but Princess Spirit looks likely to struggle in this company.
