Verdict

Karma Llama is an interesting newcomer from a yard with a good line to juvenile form, however on this occasion we will side with experience and plump for Ingleby Princess ahead of Hart Of Gold. David Barron doesn't have two many debutante winners and so Ingleby princess could be a decent prospect. She stayed on to lead well inside the final furlong and emerged a ready winner in that Newcastle event. The horses that have come out of that race have been a bit hit and miss, but Ingleby Princess is certain to improve for the run and she should make it two from two. Hart Of Gold confirmed earlier promise with a game victory at Wolverhampton last time. The weight concession may be a problem today but he should still make his presence felt. Karma Llama is a daughter of Intikhab who cost 21 thousand guineas as a yearling. She will not have to be too special to land this event and any market move should be heeded. Another newcomer Musical Land and Mark Johnston's Dee Cee Elle make up the field of five but the likely winner looks to be Ingleby Princess.
