In depth
Verdict
Pixiepot and Princess Roania made winning starts in bumpers but both have been beaten since. The latter found a newcomer trained by Warren Greatrex too good last time and the Lambourn trainer runs another debutante in this in STICKEE FINGERS. Related to three National Hunt winners, she may well be good enough to make a winning start. Klaazia and Native Princess were both placed last time and should go well again while Richard Johnson's presence on point-to-point winner Saffron's Song takes the eye.
