It seems Mick Quinn has spotted a good opportunity for PRINCESS HARLEY. Now rated 67, she found only one too good in a handicap over track and trip last time when finishing in front of Anna Jammeela, due to run in the first race, and looks a safer proposition than the likes of Rare. The latter is weighted to come out best but was still well beaten when third in a maiden at Leicester last time and is unproven on the surface. The latter comment also applies to Wolverhampton fourth Principia while Billy Ruskin and Tilsworth Sammy were both beaten a long way despite placing on their respective latest starts.
