Race preview
PRINCESS RAJJ got off the mark on her 13th start when bolting up by six lengths at Sligo where she provided Tom Madden with his first winner since returning from injury. She defied a big hike in the handicap when winning snugly under a 7lb claimer at Listowel last weekend and can complete a hat-trick with Madden back on board. The form of New York Angel's course win over 1m looks all the better after the third home landed a premier handicap at the Curragh next time and Johnny Murtagh's charge will be on most shortlists. Ezine chased home Oaks heroine Tuesday at Naas before landing a maiden at the same track and is well-drawn for her handicap debut. Affable won three times last summer and stayed on strongly over 6f when placed at the Curragh last month.
