In depth

Verdict

Less than half of this field have racecourse experience but some of the top northern yards have runners. David O’Meara’s Maharg's Princess finished third at Chelmsford in March and Poet's Lady ran well on soft ground twice last year. Red Poppy will have learned plenty from her run at Wolverhampton in November but fellow Newmarket raider SOLAR FLAME (NAP) is a half-sister to five winners and there is a nice mixture of speed and stamina in her pedigree. She is Saeed bin Suroor’s only runner on the card.
