Princess Raihana won at Chelmsford last time and is upped only 3lb while Raven Banner has won twice over 1m2f at Haydock this year and appeared not to last home over 1m4f here recently. Statuesque makes her handicap debut after placed efforts over middle-distances and so does JUST FOR YOU. The latter was narrowly beaten over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last time and James Fanshawe’s filly may prove good enough in this. Henpecked was placed over 1m4f at the track last week while Shadow Spirit just missed out over track and trip last month and is preferred to the returning Star Of Lombardy.
