Warrior Prince is sure to be very popular after going down by half a length in a similar contest at Thirsk last month. He looks clearly superior to all rivals bar CRYSTALLOGRAPHER and the filly is narrowly preferred in what looks a toss-up between the pair. David Lanigan's daughter of Big Bad Bob has shown plenty of ability on both starts on the all-weather, both of which came in what rate as decent maidens for the respective tracks. The form of her debut run at Kempton has worked out neatly and she can prove good enough in receipt of the 5lb sex allowance from the Dunlop charge. The remainder are hard to enthuse over and Gomez is a token suggestion for the minor placing.
