Tom Dascombe's Princess Dayna has shown glimpses of ability in maidens and this initial mark is fair considering two of those who beat her at Thirsk last time are now rated in the 80s. She is worth considering, but our vote goes to AJAAFA who lost by just half a length after a persistent challenge at Ayr last time. His trainer doesn't have the best record here but if the cheek-pieces find even a small amount of improvement then Ajaafa could be the one to beat. Eilean Mor acts on a variety of ground and Jim Goldie's option has the benefit of Paul Hanagan in the saddle, whilst a case can be made for Kevin Ryan's Finn's Rainbow who looks like he might get competitive from this weight.
