Verdict
The betting isn't always a great guide for this as no favourite has won in the past six years. PRINCESS ROSE is the likely market leader after a promising debut at Warwick where she stayed on once getting the hang of things. She's handed the vote, though Woodland Girl and Azagal will both improve plenty for their debuts. Madagascar Moll is by Captain Gerrard out of a 6f winner so should have pace to burn but the expensive Race Hunter is bred for further and is one to note for the future.
