Priscilla's Wish has an excellent strike-rate but has to give weight to younger and less exposed rivals. Jumbeau has been racing over longer trips this season but holds Powerdress on the form book. The latter’s stablemate, Lulworth Cove, has only won on the all-weather so far but a second at Haydock is working out well. PINAFORE only had to be pushed out to land the odds at Ripon, with Coco Jamboo third, and should make a bold bid to defy a 3lb rise with Diamond Vega having a first run since October. Star Guest never seems to run a bad race but is creeping up the weights without winning.
