Princess Way changed stables in the spring and has run well for new connections without quite looking like getting there. KODIAK PEARL was having his first start for new connections when producing her best effort to date at Chelmsford in May and wouldn't need much more to take this moderate event. Nikita looks a threat as she was making her handicap debut when staying on over 6f here last week while the maiden Medici Oro didn't stay 1m2f at Brighton and his earlier efforts over this trip and a mile would put him in the frame.
