Verdict

Few can be seriously fancied in a weak event and this looks a good opportunity for Park Ave Princess who should prove too strong for Royal Upstart and Cute Cait. Ian Wood's filly showed plenty of promise in decent maiden company before opening her account over this trip at Musselburgh in late June. The daughter of Titus Livius was far from disgraced when fourth off a mark of 67 at Brighton on her latest start and can take advantage of this drop in grade. Cute Cait won a Haydock seller in convincing fashion but has had her limitations thoroughly exposed in handicap company since and will struggle to give weight to the selection on recent evidence. Royal Upstart finished behind Cute Cait at Haydock and has since disappointed in a weak Hamilton maiden so is readily opposed by Park Ave Princess who is weighted to notch her second career success.
