Indigo Princess went close over a longer trip at Chelmsford just three days ago while Sooqaan finished in front of General Tufto when scoring over track and trip last week and carries a penalty. Luath would have finished closer here last time but for being hampered while Canadian Royal finished ahead of Unnoticed when third over 7f here earlier in the month. But IGNACIO ZULOAGA (NAP) is one of the least exposed and with further progress expected after last week’s second over course and distance, Jo Hughes’ charge gets the nod to go one better.
