Verdict

A 5lb rise for her win at Windsor earlier this month may not prevent Baltic Belle form following up and Richard Hannon's filly is taken to do just that, getting the vote ahead of Appleby and Hucking Hope. The last mentioned only went down by the narrowest of margins when chasing home Vivi Belle at Salisbury on Wednesday and has to be respected off just a 1lb higher mark today. Princess Taylor is less exposed than most of these but needs to improve on all known form, while Princess Zada may do better back on a softer surface today having disappointed on fast ground last time. John Gosden's Appleby is hard to weigh up on her debut in this grade but does not look to be particularly well treated and a safer bet looks to be Baltic Belle who gets the vote.
