Alan King's Flora Princess could not get her head in front last term and is likely to need the outing, but she did take on useful company and will be there or thereabouts if anywhere near fit. Brush The Ark's second at Hereford is as good as she can muster and Cockney Rainbow can prove a bigger threat. Robert Alner's stable are in a bit of form and this five-year-old mare ran a race full of promise when fourth to the highly rated Ar Muin Na Muice at Bangor 12 days ago, despite an untidy jump two out. TEAMtalk suggest taking her as the value against the likely favourite Street Magic, whose form last season was modest and whose second to Johnston's Point at Haydock was nothing special.
