Recway Lass only won a seller at Southwell in July and Tender Surprise's two victories have also come at the lowest level. Mystery Drama is lightly-raced but she has her fair share of weight while it's difficult to make a case from Grimley Girl and Hermosa Vaquera from out of the handicap. PRINCESS CAETANI (NAP) was about to lay down a challenge to eventual winner There Is No Point at Wetherby in May when she stumbled after jumping the third-last and fell. She'd been placed in her four previous starts and, after a pipe-opener on the Flat, can gain a deserved victory here.
