Tailed off over 1m1f here (maiden plate) two months ago; if excused last two runs he would be interesting based on his third at Fairview in March; a possible player.

Produced a good effort to finish third in a maiden last month; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice but hasn't been able to quite get his neck in front.

Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at ten; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l) in a maiden (not far behind Gimmethegold) ten days ago upped to this distance; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as has a lot on his plate here.

Favourite in May but failed to deliver when seventh over 6f here (maiden plate) despite a favourable draw; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; big chance as finished third four months ago.

Verdict

Playmaker isn't out of it while Love From Afar is entitled to be in the mix. But XTINES PRINCESS is top of the list. She should be forgiven a disappointing latest run.
