Getting lumps of weight from returning course winner Emerald Rose and recent Wincanton runner up Ballydague Lady, CARHUE PRINCESS could just be worth a speculative wager in this small field. The Tom Symonds mare has only won so far over fences at Towcester but she likes give in the ground and conditions will have been too quick when she was only third at that venue on her reappearance. It is hard to fancy Miss Dimples from 10lb out of the weights.
