Lansdowne Princess ran well on her return from a long break over hurdles at Towcester last week and should strip fitter here. Might As Well and Time Book have a chance at the weights but haven't been in particularly good form. Doheny Bar was second at Plumpton last month, however, though is giving 7lb to QUAYSIDE COURT. Claire Dyson's charge is not an easy ride but last year's winner continues his tumble down the weights and has the beating of Roybuoy on their run together 12 months ago. The bottom weight can stage a repeat.
