Confirmed more positive signs from the Spring when opening her account on return at Southwell (15.8f) 26 days ago, responding well when tackled. Remains low mileage and of interest again.
Modest Flat winner who ran best race to date over timber when second at Musselburgh (15.5f) in February. Mixed bag under both codes has followed though, and others make more appeal.
Four time AW winner on Flat showed ability over hurdles early on last year. Undergone wind surgery ahead of return/yard debut and cheekpieces the headgear of choice here.
Soundly beaten on first 2 starts over hurdles but more encouragement to glean from his staying on second in a 17.2f Cartmel novice earlier this month. Needs to build on that now handicapping.
Won 3 handicap hurdles in Ireland in 2018. Only one effort of note since joining this yard but it did come over C&D and he's been given a chance by the handicapper ahead of return.
Fair Flat handicapper at his best but still a maiden over hurdles and shaped as if needing his return over hurdles over C&D 19 days ago. Did finish very tired but this should reveal more.
Newcastle handicap winner in March 2019. Didn't really threaten to add to her tally in 5 hurdle starts last season and she merely passed beaten horses on Cartmel return last month.
Out of sorts for some time on the Flat (last of 10 on return at Hamilton, 13f) and well below pick of form in this sphere when a remote third in a C&D event 3 weeks ago.
Well backed and belatedly off the mark from 5 lb lower mark at Carlisle (17f) in February. Been struggling on the Flat in recent months but booking of Hughes catches the eye back over timber.
Lightly-raced 8-y-o who ran well when runner-up on return over fences here (2m) in July. Clearly in rude health and respected on that basis reverting back to timber.
Fair 7f winner at his best on Flat for Michael Dods. No impact initially earlier in the year but he has strung together a couple of modest efforts of late fourth in a Stratford handicap latest.
Landed a gamble when scoring over C&D winner last September. Mixed bag thereafter but back to form when second in a C&D handicap on return 19 days ago. Claims with a repeat.
Well held in 2 bumpers/ trio of novice hurdles during 2019. However, now gets a crack at handicaps on return and market support would need to be viewed positively.
Yet to better poor form over hurdles, admittedly facing a stiff task from 10 lb out the weights when well held fifth of 8 at Musselburgh (15.5f) in February. Similar uphill task in hand here.
Forecasts
Princess T (2/1), Vino's Choice (11/2), Kilfinan Bay (11/2), Wise Coco (15/2), Calliope (10/1), Astute Boy (14/1), Lady Kyria (14/1), Ride The Monkey (18/1), Touchedbyanangel (20/1), Golden Chancer (25/1), Dagian (25/1), Mamdood (40/1), Sauchiehall Street (50/1), Painters Lad (125/1)
PRINCESS T picked up where she left off when shedding the maiden tag at Southwell 26 days ago, responding well when tackled. A low-mileage 5-y-o, she's fancied to go well again from a 5 lb higher mark and earns the vote. Vino's Choice, Calliope and Wise Coco head up the dangers.
