Princess Nia²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: B J Meehan| OR: 80

11/4

Only had a handful of starts so further improvement can't be ruled out after winning a maiden and a handicap (on debut) separated by five months. Won her handicap at Bath (beat three rivals) fairly easily and handled the quick ground well and up just 2lb here.

Form: 6621-1

Inke¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 78

9/2

Course winner last year over 1m1f on heavy ground but handles a quicker surface although that win came in favourable circumstances off a strong gallop (not sure to get that here). Looks on a reasonable mark though and may be capable of improving on her last outing.

Form: 2986-62

Kullu^h²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 75

4/6

Built on the promise of her debut when winning on her second start at Pontefract over a mile. A relative baby compared to the rest of the field on her handicap debut she was always up with a strong pace and stayed on to finish well and would be interesting if she got the run of the race here.

Form: 214-

Forecasts

Kullu (4/6), Princess Nia (11/4), Inke (9/2)

A difficult little three-runner race and it’s not hard to see all these winning a race or two this year. Inke might not get this run to suit and Kullu could just be lacking in a little fitness returning from a break. All of that leaves PRINCESS NIA with the vote here she did win with a bit in hand last time out and should be fitter than the other duo and with the ground looking to suit she could well complete the hat-trick.
