PRINCESS HARLEY beat four of these when scoring over 1m4f here recently. She needed every yard to get her head in front when producing a late surge for the line and this longer trip should not be a problem on that evidence. Cold Harbour and Going Native filled the places behind the selection but the former is worse off at the weights today carrying a penalty for last week’s success at the track while Sociologist and Tyrsal were both well beaten by Mick Quinn’s mare. Jamacho went close over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last time and debuts on the Fibresand.
