Far more competitive in terms of likely winners than in Division 1 half an hour earlier. Princess Way arrives seeking a hat-trick having beaten a couple of today's rivals (Silverturnstogold and Swot) over a slightly shorter trip at Ffos Las recently. His stablemate Altaria also merits a mention with both of his UK wins having come at this track (1m2f), as does the admirable C&D specialist Aye Aye Skipper. However, the maiden BIG BAD LOL has been running consistently well at Ffos Las, so the application of first-time cheekpieces might prove just enough to force his head to the front.
