        Verdict

        In a race where recent winning form is at somewhat of a premium PRINCESS LEXI looks the stand-out after success last time while Mini Max and Naseby are both on improving runs of form. As well as being the only recent winner the pick is also the only one in this field to have scored over this trip. She seemed to benefit for a drop to this distance when gaining that win and her mark rise looks fair. Mini Max has improved in three runs this term and was only just beaten last time so if improving again he has an obvious chance from just a lb worse off. Naseby looked in need of his seasonal return and stepped up on that run by finding just the one too good. The assessor hasn't done him any favours but he looks one of the more likely types. Outside these three not much else makes much appeal so we'll stick with Princess Lexi.
