Verdict

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS has won three of her last five outings and went close again over track and trip last time. She can confirm latest running with Gloves Lynch and get her head back in front. Johnny Reb won over 6f before finishing runner-up over today’s trip while Bombastic scored at Lingfield last month and was narrowly beaten over a mile at Wolverhampton last week. Frozen Ocean showed no improvement for the drop back to 6f at Kempton last time though that was in a higher grade.
