THE BLACK PRINCESS was due to run in the Fred Darling at last Saturday's abandoned Newbury. John Gosden's 1000 Guineas and Oaks entry may turn out to be well handicapped having made a winning start at Kempton in November. Bargain Buy also made a winning introduction when scoring over track and trip three weeks ago and Ruby Wednesday was successful here in March, though has been beaten off today's higher mark since. Tigserin won on her handicap debut on her return at Chelmsford but is upped 7lb. Caitie drops in class for her reappearance and could go well.
