Verdict
Corn Maiden popped-up at Brighton earlier this month and Princess Willow is capable of making the frame at this lowly level. My Manekineko went very close over 2m here on his latest start and Men Don't Cry keeps threatening to add to his tally of one win in 28 starts. Thane of Cawdor can figure on his best form, but ICE NELLY has had just the two starts this season and it could be her turn today having slipped down the weights since she last won.
