Princess Tansy was progressive last term and looked to need the run on her return to action after an eight-month break. She's probably best watched again whereas DARMA shaped really well on her first run since last summer when just inched out by Picket Line at Kempton over this trip. She remains lightly enough raced for a four-year-old and is taken to go one better partnered once again by excellent apprentice Josephine Gordon. Posh Bounty has had a busy campaign but continues to respond generously and another competitive effort should be forthcoming despite her advancement to a mark of over 70 for the first time. The main concern about her chance is that her best performances to date have been delivered on ground with plenty of cut which will not be forthcoming here. In contrast, Margrets Gift is at her most effective on quick ground and should get in the mix for the in-form Tim Easterby team.
