Yemeni Princess won twice on the Flat last year and was prominent for a long way on her hurdling debut at Bangor. That experience was probably needed and Brendan Powell's mare will be fancied get off the mark here with McCoy taking over the reins, though may need further. Catching Zeds has also won twice on the level but has something to prove after finishing tailed off at Aintree in June, while Fine Lace is only a plater. BEECH VIEW takes a drop in grade from her recent fourth at Uttoxeter and already has some decent form to her name. It wouldn't take much improvement for her to open her account today.
