Princess T attempts to follow up her Southwell victory carrying another 6lb but has to give weight to a couple of previous course winners in Wise Coco, who finished second here earlier in the month ahead of Astute Boy and Dagian, and VINO’S CHOICE. The latter’s latest second here came over fences but he can race off the same mark back over timber and is overdue a win. Calliope has not been running well on the Flat but will happier back jumping.
