The step back up in trip will suit YEMENI PRINCESS. Brendan Powell's filly has a lot of weight to carry but she still looks fairly handicapped and is unlikely to be far away now dropped in grade. Having won a bumper under a bigger burden she should run well. Relative Strength is hard to win with but is not ignored as he drops in class from the Goodwood Stakes but a bigger threat could be the in-form Saborido who is only two pounds higher than when victorious at Folkestone. Kieren Fallon has a two from six record for Mark Tompkins so No Rules is respected with a run under his belt, but along with Boston Blue and Regal Park, who clashed at the track in June, is passed over. Fellow course winner Sunny Spells adds more spice to the mix and this strong stayer will help ensure a strong tempo from the front.
