In depth
Verdict
GALE GREEN was having only her third start of the season when winning over track and trip last month. She won more cosily than the narrow winning margin would suggest and this looks no tougher despite a 3lb higher mark. Cape Princess has had a couple of starts on Polytrack since returning from a lay-off and is also open to improvement, while Ninfea has dropped to a winning mark and went close at Brighton during the week. Hat-trick heroine Tegan turned in a poor effort last time but it's too soon to write her off.
