PRISCILLA’S WISH has racked up plenty of wins over the last 12 months and she returned from 173-day break to score over C&D last week. A 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her as she looks to make it seven wins from her last eight starts. Runner-up over course and distance last time out, Spirited Guest looks to be her main danger, along with Spirit Of Nguru.
