Cherry Princess beat a subsequent winner at Hexham last month with Magnolia Ridge well beaten, though the latter didn’t give his true running that day. GREENWORLDSOLUTION is only a token selection in a race that won’t take much winning but he wouldn’t need to improve much on his latest second at Bangor behind a much-improved sort. Uttoxeter runner-up Lady Vivona looks the pick of the remainder as Heaven Scent appears to have lost the plot.
