Shymay’s recent third came over 5f on Fibresand. Morning Fury looked one paced over 7f at Wolverhampton so this drop in trip may not suit, though she’ll know more today. New Arrival was third over 6f at Kempton on debut but didn’t really improve on that when fourth over 7f here subsequently. Archie Watson sent out last year’s winner and PORTUGUESEPRINCESS made a promising debut at Wolverhampton, despite running green. That will have taught her plenty and she looks the one to be on today.
