Princess Society was backed at the exclusion of anything else on her handicap debut over the extended mile at Wolverhampton last month but looked as though she would appreciate further and she looks worth another chance stepping up to 1m4f today in a race where the main rivals look to be Orvietan and Subsidise. The last mentioned was good value for his win here over a mile last month but is far from certain to appreciate today's longer trip and a combination of that and a 10lb rise leaves him with more to do. Jim Boyle's Bariloche hardly looks to be well treated for his debut in this grade although the son of Benny The Dip should improve for the longer trip. Night Groove is less likely to appreciate the trip being by Night Shift, although there is stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree. Perfect Order remains a maiden and is another that is far from certain to stay and of more interest may be Orvietan. Mark Johnston's colt opened his account in a Lingfield maiden over this trip last month and has to be of interest off what looks a fair mark but, being by Sadler's Wells, he is less likely to be suited by the Fibresand than the Polytrack and preference is for Princess Society, who has plenty going for her.
