Rebel Pearl gets the call in the fillies' handicap, with First Princess and Princess Zada possibly proving best of the others. Princess Zada maybe has it to prove now from her revised mark, although she is a course and distance winner, while Rebel Pearl ran well at Hamilton on soft going last time after being raised eleven pounds for her win. She hung left that day but we still feel she can go well in the Chepstow finale. Bidable is seven pounds better off with Princess Zada for the nine lengths she finished behind her over course and distance in May. First Princess has run well here in the past and holds place claims, while, finally, Montrachet made a step in the right direction when second on heavy going at Haydock last time and she could have got into this on a very fair mark, and Regal Curtsy and Rubilini are open to improvement on Turf and cannot be ruled out of good runs. For the selection, though, we will stick with Rebel Pearl.
