In depth
Verdict
It will take a good one to beat Art Princess and she's readily preferred to Misty Glade and Voulez Vous. The selection showed considerable ability in a maiden at the Craven meeting when running on well to finish second behind a taking winner. The fourth gave the form a boost when winning a Windsor maiden in which Readily finished fourth and Art Princess looks a winner in waiting. There are some interesting newcomers in this field though and Brian Meehan's Misty Glade certainly fits that bill. She's bred to make a juvenile but the yard's juveniles do tend to come on for their initial experience. Voulez Vous has the benefit of a run over course and distance under her belt and there was plenty to like about that soft ground performance. She got tired in the closing stages that day but the form looks pretty fair and improvement is expected. Once again, the market should prove useful but Art Princess is likely to be a warm order at the head of affairs.
