Forecasts

Bowerman (4/6), Princess Yaiza (10/3), Kasperenko (10/3), Shekiba (16/1)

The Gavin Cromwell-trained PRINCESS YAIZA has long been considered the best Flat horse his trainer has ever had in his Co Meath yard. The mare needs to be giving a good account here with plans of a run in a lucrative staying handicap in Saudi Arabia in the offing. The five-year-old who has been back in the yard since November can get the better of Bowerman and Kasperenko in the four runner affair.
