A pretty desperate contest in which few of shown any recent worthwhile form. PRINCESSE FLEUR is an exception though and, though raised a pound since her latest third here, two of her four career victories have come around here. Dropping down a grade, Vendredi Trois would probably figure if anywhere near his best while Star Trouper has the ability to get involved in a race like this. Baby Sherlock is making his handicap debut but is returning from a break.
