In depth
Verdict
Princess Toto gets the vote over Mikimoto, with Vonnies Night Out and Mayyas worth a mention. Pat Haslam has put a first-time visor on Princess Toto as she bids to open her account after a spell over hurdles. Beaten in a seller on her last outing on the level at Redcar in September, it would be no surprise if she were to improve out of all recognition to land the spoils. Mikimoto was a beaten favourite last time but hails from stable that knows the time of day, so any support in the ring should be heeded, while Vonnies Night Out is from a stable that had a winner on Wednesday. Mayyas, like the selection has been mixing timber-topping with runs on the Flat without success, and it remains to be seen how he will cope with the Fibresand. All in all, in what is a real guessing game, we shall pin our hopes on Princess Toto.
