        Verdict

        Highfield Princess debuts on the all-weather having won at Ayr last month and is 6lb higher today. But JUNVIEVE ran her best race of the year so far when fourth in soft going at Salisbury last week and with this faster surface in her favour, the Hannon filly gets the vote. Sparkling Diamond’s earlier win at Wolverhampton came over 6f while Ammayya placed over the same distance here on her handicap bow and Pallas Dancer finished a lot closer in novice company at Newcastle last time.
