Swift Princess should fare better than on her reappearance, however Regal Step won on her debut last season and as she possesses a bit of class, she is fancied to win today. A mark of 85 indicates that the handicapper doesn't want to underestimate her; however as a three-year-old she gets a handy 9lb weight-for-age-allowance and with this ground likely to be perfect for her, she can resume winning ways. Valley Of The Moon was a ready winner last time out, showing that she is in good heart, however her profile suggests that while she keeps her form well, first time up may be the time to catch her. Hypnosis has ability and needs to be watched carefully in the betting as she returns to the track, whilst Tartatartufata has ability and will pop up at some point but it is hard to guess when. Nigella had plenty in her favour last time out but couldn't take advantage, so of more interest may be Feelin Foxy who may appreciate a return to turf today. Swift Princess made pleasing progress last season after a pipe-opener, so expect a better showing today, however it is Regal Step who lead them home.
