Verdict
Pandemic Princess has been a consistent performer at this level and had Beau Amir behind when placed last week. She also had Benevolent behind at Navan earlier but the latter didn't enjoy the cut in the ground and turned the tables here a fortnight ago, though a line through the winner puts CLARINBRIDGE in the driving seat. She's steadily improved with racing, was in the lead at this trip when tackling 7f last time and has the assistance of a 5lb claimer. Cherry Bloom, a winner over 5f at Down Royal in the summer, ran well on her first start here in October and looks best of the remainder.
