        Verdict

        Princess Kiotto progressed nicely throughout last season and can land this handicap from Northern Nymph and Skye's Folly. Tim Easterby's four-year-old took advantage of a lenient mark to land handicaps at Newcastle and Beverley. She wasn't disgraced on her final outing when second to Moonshine Beach and still looks to have a very fair rating. Northern Nymph ended last campaign with an excellent second behind Treason Trail at York. The extra couple of furlongs is a slight concern, but he should still be there or thereabouts. There are no problems for Skye's Folly as regards the trip and this versatile and consistent character will be hard to keep out of the frame. Bobsleigh is from a yard going well and may do best of the others, but our idea of the winner is Princess Kiotto.
