Princess Shoka has shown a fair level of form on a faster surface but today is completely different with the inclement conditions. Definite Article has sired a couple of winners over heavy conditions so it would not be beyond the realms of possibility that this daughter could appreciate it. Skeana ran well in her debut behind Snugfit Dubarry at Nottingham and looks capable of winning a small race but whether it is today is open to question. Intercession was well behind on that day but on breeding, she should stand a much better chance on today's surface. James Given's team are in good form at the moment and it would be no surprise to see Liam's Story run well.
