Verdict
Luna Princess ran her best race to date when runner-up in a similar contest over track and trip last month. She looks the pick of the older hordes but official ratings suggest ZORAYA (NAP) should have too much for these. Paul Cole’s filly is on a long losing run but has been holding her own in handicap company this season and gets 10lb from Chikoko Trail, who did win a Lingfield seller last month but is probably better on quicker surfaces.
