In depth
Verdict
Princess Rhianna gets the vote ahead of High Standing, with Mystickhill, Loose Caboose and Howards Hope others in with a shout. Princess Rhianna made the best possible start to her career with Geraldine Rees when getting up to score at Catterick 13-days ago. Unplaced twice for Karl Burke previously, she still appeared green at the Yorkshire track, but stayed on well and will benefit from the extra furlong here on her Polytrack and nursery debut. High Standing has to give her a pound but is partnered by Jamie Spencer again after the combination's nursery success at Kempton that was achieved in a fast time. He is on the upgrade and will prove popular with punters. Mystickhill has been placed enough to command respect of a sort, while Loose Caboose has improved from selling grade of late. Howards Hope has a first-time visor to sharpen him up, and all in all this looks competitive, but hopefully Princess Rhianna can follow up.
