Verdict

HIGHFIELD PRINCESS shaped best in the Nunthorpe and this high-class mare is so reliable that she's a straightforward choice to add another success at the top level. Bradsell has beaten the selection once already this season, so he's an obvious danger, while Art Power's outstanding course record throws him into the reckoning.
