CITY SELECTIONS Pandemic Princess makes her first start in England for trainer Alice Haynes, having previously been with Richard O’Brien in Ireland, and she is entitled to respect, but preference is for HARB. Peter Crate’s three-year-old scored readily over C&D last time and a 5lb rise for that success may not be enough to halt his progression. Muscika is another to note. HARB
