In depth
Verdict
Party Princess is taken to score in the opener with Petite Mac and Borodinsky rated as the main dangers. The selection hit form last time out when beating Aahgowangowan at Nottingham and although she has a penalty for that success, now that she has found a bit of form it may be worth sticking with her. Borodinsky was a fair third behind Linden's Lady at Catterick last time but this drop in trip is not necessarily sure to suit and for that reason he is taken on. Petite Mac won well at Redcar last time when beating Nevinstown but that was only her second win in 34 attempts and the percentage call looks to be to take her on in this more competitive race. The Old Soldier is capable of getting competitive but he looks to have a little to find with a couple of his rivals today and he is not ideally drawn in stall 18. We will therefore stick with Party Princess as the one to beat.
