Verdict
Princess Nieve is penalised for winning one of these events at Lingfield last week though Faithless Insomnia was beaten only a neck and may well reverse running. But CEDRILLON also has a shout on these terms and having finished in front of Chelsea Annie when going close over track and trip last time, Matt Crawley’s mare may well prove the one to side with.
