YEMENI PRINCESS won this a year ago from just 1lb lower and had excuses for her two subsequent defeats over a trip too short and on ground softer than she likes. She can complete the long-range double as Taikoo appears to do his best at Southwell or on ground softer than he's likely to find here which leaves Keys as probably the main threat. Unbeaten in three bumpers, including a Listed contest at Cheltenham, Roger Charlton's gelding has done well in three races over 1m4f under Flat Rules and this is much more like his trip. Royal Diamond has slipped back to a winning mark and will be better for a recent run over a trip too short at Doncaster while Cosimo de Medici scored over the trip at Goodwood before a very poor effort over 2m2f at Pontefract.
