Verdict
This is the hat-trick-seeking Ivor's Princess' first preference ahead of an entry at Warwick and she should make a bold bid to defy the penalty having won easily at Salisbury 11 days ago. Magic Destiny didn't do a lot wrong when runner-up at Carlisle last time but My Sharona is struggling to get her head in front again and has gone up 4lb since finishing second to Tenbridge on Turf at Lingfield. AL WAJBA just held off Silvas Romana to get off the mark at Newcastle but the drop back to 7f may suit and she's on an upward curve. Willie Haggas' filly can follow up here with top weight Princess Of Orange preferred to Chester winner Ozz of the remainder.
