Princess Ellis gets the confident vote in the finale with By The Edge and Millsini rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Rann Na Cillie and although having a penalty for that win she looked progressive and she is taken to defy the handicapper under similar conditions here. By The Edge rates the main danger on his latest third behind Mickleberry. He has been dropped another two pounds for that effort and he should be watched in the market. Millsini was behind By The Edge last time and on the same terms here he has a little to find. Silly Gilly is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he has never won a handicap. Of the remainder Silver Hotspur is from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market but for the winner we return to Princess Ellis.
