Verdict
Richard Hughes' presence on Qatar Princess takes the eye and the latter should go close again on the back of a second at Nottingham. She comes out best of those with an official rating and is preferred to the more-exposed Flashy Queen and Zafraaj. Royal Brave didn't fare too badly on his debut at Nottingham but CHARLES MOLSON showed a big improvement to finish runner-up at Kempton last month. Henry Candy's charge can come out best with further progress likely.
