Cases for all but PRINCESS SHABNAM continued her return to form when inched out by a progressive type at Chester last weekend. Only headed late on that day, the drop to the minimum trip looks wise, with connections clearly feeling she's ready to strike. Ballet Steps, the sole course and distance winner here, also drops down to 5f and looks the key danger as more progress is likely after just five starts and she's been nudged down 1lb by the assessor. Dynamic Force returns after being gelded and James Doyle is booked for stablemate Little Earl but they're probably best watched and Silky Wilkie and Swayze make more appeal for the shortlist.
