Formscan  - CHARMING PRINCESS has had to make do behind some talented sorts of William Haggas the last twice, but she pulled well clear of the field when beaten a head at Ffos Las recently and that form should be enough to see her break the maiden. Hopeful Joy must be considered on the back of a strong runner-up effort at Ripon, while 425,000gns purchase Golden Horse looks like the pick of the newcomers for leading connections.
