Recent Doncaster scorer Pryers Princess is preferred to last week's course and distance winner Dark Crystal of the two penalised runners but both step up a grade. IXELLES DIAMOND was headed right on the line when favourite at Epsom last month. A specialist over this trip, she's been left on the same mark and can reverse earlier running at Ayr with Invoke and take this. Caigemdar has only found one too good at Newcastle and Chester in her last two starts and should be winning soon while Skinny Love is back over her best distance and is no forlorn hope.
