This is another trappy contest in which Sweet Sara is taken to get the better of Express Princess and Lella Beya. The selection finished fifth behind Nowaira at Leicester on her debut and she is sure to come on plenty for the experience. Seb Sanders will give her maximum assistance from the saddle and she looks the one to beat. Express Princess progressed from her debut to finish third behind Bushy Dell here last time and if she progresses again then she should make the frame from a good draw. Lella Beya is a lightly-raced filly and finished in mid-division at Kempton last month. However, the race hasn't worked out particularly well and she has yet to prove that this is her trip, so we are happy to take her on. Green Wonder is an interesting newcomer worth noting in the market, but we prefer the claims of Sweet Sara who is taken to score.
