Highfield Princess debuts on the all-weather having won at Ayr last month and is 6lb higher today.

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.
