Verdict
PAPA'S PRINCESS is taken to land the opener at the expense of Pianoforte and Sands of Barra. The selection caught the eye when finishing second to Wednesday Boy at Ayr last time out. He was a previous winner at that track last month and still looks capable of scoring off his current mark. Pianoforte is another that looks weighted to run well. He has in the past won off a five pounds higher mark and is therefore one to note in the betting market. As is Sands of Barra who ran with credit when third to Eternal Legacy at Ayr last time out and if recapturing that level of form he can be in the shake up.
