PANTO PRINCESS is the pick in the nightcap with Deportment and Racing Hero figuring highly on our shortlist. Panto Princess hails from a yard that are very much in form and with Henry Candy sending out a similar filly to victory last week; we are confident that she can give a good account of herself on handicap introduction. Deportment ran a fair third on debut at Doncaster though seemed ill at ease on Epsom's camber. Horses can easily be forgiven for hanging around there and as an inmate of the James Fanshawe yard, he ticks plenty of boxes. Frankie Dettori has a 20% strike rate when riding for Jeremy Noseda so Doncaster winner, Racing Hero makes a fair degree of appeal despite a winners penalty. Starkat finished ahead of our selection at Nottingham so he should not be dismissed too readily. Naheell held on gamely to win over nine furlongs at Wolverhampton and attempts to repel a 3lb rise on return to turf. Too Tall has been yet to recapture the promise he showed in his juvenile campaign. Panto Princess is nominated in a race where the market will offer up most clues.
