Vondelpark has an 11lb hike in the weights to contend with having been allowed to make all at Ripon and winning by a wide margin. Orchestra has yet to convince over today’s trip after placing at Windsor but a chance is taken ALEXA’S PRINCESS stays this far. She finished third in a Class 2 contest over 7f at Newmarket despite starting a big price and is clearly still improving. Rievaulx Raver drops back down in distance with a chance while Kittykarma, Slingsbytoo and Coverdale make most appeal of those handicapping for the first time.
