PRINCESS YALZA steps into a handicap for the first time on the back of a C&D win and her opening mark looks fair particularly given her steady progress to date. There are plenty of dangers however with Lucky Red looking chief among them after a good second here latest off the same mark. Highly Approved is 1lb out of the handicap but was noted running on latest behind Piper Bomb and he could reverse with a hefty weight pull with that rival.
