Verdict

TRUCKERS PRINCESS won this last year on soft ground off a 2lb higher mark and is back in a seller for the first time since. She showed a bit more at Warwick last time, when Nicky Nutjob was well adrift, and may prove best of a modest bunch again. Dalrymple has to go on the short-list following his second over 2m4f at Hereford but King's Road is still a maiden over hurdles and was beaten 40 lengths when third at Fakenham last month. Leicester runner-up The Society Man also has a bit to find on the book.
