Boppys Princess gets the confident vote in this handicap with Lucayan Dancer and Easibet Dot Net rated as the main dangers. The selection is in cracking form and won well last time at Beverely when beating Harcourt. She is clearly on the upgrade, her yard is in good form and she should take plenty of beating. Lucayan Dancer was a good third behind the dead-heating pair of Tulipa and Come What July last time at Newmarket. That was over a longer trip then this but he is probably at his best over today's 1m2f and he should go well. Easibet Dot Net was a fair second behind Richtee on his seasonal reappearance but he does have a high head carriage and that has to be a slight concern. Trouble Mountain is game and consistent but is probably a little high in the weights at present and for the winner we return to Boppys Princess.
