PALACE PRINCESS has been getting closer as she slips down the weights and may finally come good for Ed Dunlop in a poor contest. See Clearly remains 7lb higher than when scoring at Southwell last month while the likes of Larghetto, Arabian Flight and Candy Kitten have not been at their best of late but all have the past form to figure. Grace Hull has to be forgiven a below par effort at Doncaster last time but won here early in the year.
