      Verdict

      Priors Glen continues to disappoint and it may take more than a first-time visor to invigorate Emma Lavelle's seven-year-old. LANSDOWNE PRINCESS has twice got the better of Orion Star over C&D lately and is fancied to come out on top again today, despite being 7lb worse off with the runner-up than in their latest clash. The fact that Gerald Ham's mare has more stamina than her old rival could be the deciding factor. It's more than two years since Premier Des Marais last ran over fences and he's been well beaten over timber lately while Balustrade is very difficult to predict.
