        In depth

        Verdict

        Gap Princess has every chance at the weights being able to race off just a 2lb higher mark than when successful at Catterick earlier this month but Richard Fahey's filly has yet to prove her effectiveness on ground softer than good so she may be best watched and a better bet looks to be Ingleby Princess, who gets the vote over Rothesay Dancer. The last mentioned comes into this in a good and consistent level of form but she is better over five furlongs than this trip so Jim Goldie's mare looks best watched. Just Joey has been running well but the handicapper has taken note and she looks a shade high in the weights at present. Dorn Dancer was good value for her win at Haydock last month but she has struggled off her new mark in both starts since so looks best left out of calculations. Bryan Smart's Mafasina has only had three starts so far and could be of interest on her debut in a handicap but it is hard to get away from Ingleby Princess. David Barron's filly has shown improved form in her last two starts and a reproduction of those efforts may well suffice.
