Night Storm, Caressed and My Princess look to be the leading lights in this fillies' handicap with the vote given to Night Storm. The selection is chasing the hat-trick and she was good value for the winning margin at Bath last time when she beat Starboard Light. She was not given a hard time that day and if she can reproduce that form here she will be hard to beat. Caressed looks an improving filly and she put in a really pleasing performance when beating Robema at Beverley last time. Her stable are bang in form and she has to be respected. My Princess is a course and distance winner and she would have an obvious chance here on her best form but she is vulnerable to a less-exposed rival and she faces a couple of those in this contest. Dansa Queen looked in need of the run on her seasonal reappearance at Nottingham last time and she should strip fitter today, but for the winner we will return to Night Storm.
