A competitive handicap rounds off the card and Boppys Princess, Time To Regret and Acorazado look to be the leading players and we will side with Boppys Princess. This 3-year-old filly from the Richard Fahey yard has enjoyed a fine season and she proved her well-being last time out when beating Velocitas at Wolverhampton. She is clearly on the upgrade and with her usual pilot Paul Hanagan in the plate should take plenty of beating. Time To Regret was a beaten favourite last time on the AW at Wolverhampton, and although he has shown a fair level of form on this surface and has the services of Keiren Fallon, he is difficult to put forward with a great deal of confidence. Acorazado would have chances on his best form but he might struggle to see out every yard of this trip in these testing conditions and for that reason he is probably worth taking on. Armitieres normally produces her best in big fields but again she may struggle to get home, and for the winner we return to Boppys Princess.
