Verdict

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS was a winner when last in this grade at Chelmsford in July. She’s been holding her own at a higher level since and probably saw too much daylight at Doncaster last month. Though penalised, John Quinn’s filly looks the pick of the older fillies ahead of the disappointing Bounce The Blues and With Thanks. Statement has also proved expensive to follow but Chocoya has won her last two while Rising Star has been running well enough in handicaps to warrant a stab at this grade.
