Nothing makes strong appeal in a contest where all have question marks against them. Emily Yeats looks limited and Isabella Liberty does have some ability but has been tailed off the last twice. Bowberry is consistent but has yet to win on Turf which leaves us with Special Miss and PERCYS PRINCESS. The former is running well enough this term, albeit over slightly shorter trips, and the concession of 6lb to the Appleby runner when taking into account Ali Rawlinson's useful claim, may just prove too much. It will be no surprise to see Percys Princess set out to make all to maximise guaranteed stamina and she went nicely enough on her penultimate start when a decent third at Nottingham behind the progressive Steve Rogers, probably the best form on offer here.

Bowberry 11-8fav (9-2) Went slightly right and bumped start, tracked leader, ridden over 2f out, lost 2nd over 1f out, one pace and no impression, last of 3, 7l behind Yul Finegold (9-12) at Wolverhampton 1m 4f hcp 0-75 (5) in Apr.
