Bavarian Princess got the better of Striker Torres over track and trip in November and that pair are closely matched here, but LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND may prove too good for them both. Conor Dore's charge remains in good heart having won at Lingfield last time with Twice Red behind and he beat another of today's rivals in Double Carpet over C&D earlier in the month. Sole Danser has claims on his form in maiden company last summer and could figure on his first start for a new yard, while Wigram's Turn isn't out of this judged on last month's victory at this track.
