Wavertree Princess is selected ahead of Fastella and Hero Hart. The selection hails from a yard that are at least in form and while she has had her chances, her defeats have not come from any lack of willingness for the task. Fastella was easy to back on debut but can be expected to have improved for the run. The market should tell us plenty. Hero Hart was backed on debut and is probably better than the bare form suggests. Hucking Harkness ran well on debut although it is somewhat surprising that connections are sticking with him over the minimum trip. Martingrange Boy is watched in the market on debut. Wavertree Princess can make experience count in this maiden.
