      Verdict

      Lobengula and Hoh Wotanite have won their last seven races between them and both have to be respected but may now be a shade high in the weights and preference is for Gaelic Princess. Tony Newcombe's mare was good value for her win over a similar trip at Lingfield last time, for which she has only been raised 2lbs and she is taken to follow up that success here. Will He Wish is another that comes here having won last time but that success and most of his racing was over seven furlongs and the 11-year-old is far from certain to stay the extended 1m1f trip today. Just Bond does stay the trip but may need some help from the handicapper, while Cupid's Glory is hard to back with confidence on recent evidence. This looks a decent contest and preference in it is for Gaelic Princess.
