Highfield Princess bids for a hat-trick under a penalty for last week’s win at Chelmsford but can figure again if handling the underfoot conditions. Midnite Bride makes less appeal raised 7lb for winning at Catterick but it was heavy ground at Ayr when REAL SMOOTH (NAP) finished second with Florenza and Milton Road behind. He’s taken to reverse earlier running with Highfield Princess on much better terms today and Ray Dawson also takes 5lb off his back. Wots The Wifi Code went close over 6f last time but has something to prove over today’s trip.
