Princess Roania has had a run on the Flat since last seen over hurdles and her yard won this three years ago. Popping Along won last year’s renewal off a higher mark so goes on the short-list after a pipe-opener at Ludlow. Lets Go Dutchess was only beaten a couple of lengths at Newton Abbot, though the winner let the form down at Worcester earlier this week. Black Tulip won easily at Stratford on her handicap debut but has a bit to find with SUE BE IT on earlier running at Newton Abbot and Nikki Evans’ maiden could be the value in this.
