Verdict
PRINCESSE FLEUR hasn't been seen since making a winning debut over the larger obstacles at Stratford in July of last year. But her yard can get one ready at home and, as she's only 3lb higher, the seven-year-old can make a winning reappearance. Eaton Rock loves the mud and last month's Lingfield winner won't go down without a fight while I Am Colin is improving with experience over fences, though an extra half-mile wouldn't have come amiss. Seventh Hussar won twice on heavy going at Lingfield in 2013 but hasn't really threatened since returning from injury.
