Parlour Maid was a 20/1 chance when winning at Towcester in May but this won't take much winning either. Rif Raftou and Princess Roania must have each-way claims but BLACK BUBLE was in the process of running a big race at Kempton when last seen. He was on the heels of the leaders when hampered and unseating his rider at the second-last and the booking of Sam Twiston-Davies has to be viewed as a positive. Shadow Blue looks best of the rest.
