Verdict
Burmese Princess was well beaten in a hot race at Newmwrket last time and should find this company more to her liking. That said, she looks more exposed than some of her rivals including Takes Two To Tango who shaped as through she would improve for another furlong when second at Ayr behind a well thought off Mark Johnson colt. Of the others, Notanother makes most appeal but her stable is not renowned for having first time out winners. A tentative selection goes to Cala she is related to several winners and ran well for a long way on her debut at York, that race has already produced several winners and Cala seems sure to learn from the experience.
