Verdict

Dubai Princess is selected here ahead of Gross Prophet and Grylls. Dubai Princess won her maiden on the all-weather well enough then proved that grass is not a problem for her by finishing fourth in a Listed event last time. She looked there as though a sixth furlong would suit her and gets that today. Gross Prophet's form is solid and he is a major player today. Grylls has been quite highly tried in his last couple of runs but his form before that, albeit it mainly at five furlongs, means that his claims have to be fully respected. Sinead Of Aiglish cannot entirely be ruled out either but Capefly has to improve on her debut if she is to play a meaningful part in this race. Once again, then, the selection is Dubai Princess.
