Verdict
Jamie Osborne runs three in this but Little disappointed when favourite at Southwell when last seen so it would be no surprise if Timmy Murphy's mount Houdini proved the stable selection today. He did a little better when fifth at Kempton last month, though did finish a place behind Arlecchino's Leap who won a nursery here in August. Pryers Princess was second to MEDICEAN BLISS in a maiden over course and distance in March but Jeremy Gask's charge is taken to come out on top again despite 4lb worse terms. Penny Dreadful also has form at the track shouldn't be dismissed
