Verdict

ALANS PRIDE has winning form here this year and wasn't beaten far over C&D a fortnight ago, racing off 1lb higher now, he may be capable of regaining the winning habit granted a decent trip around. Strategic Heights goes up in trip for this but should remain a danger providing there is enough gas in the tank while it won't come as any surprise to see Elusive Approach gain a breakthrough sooner rather than later. Doonard Prince was in excellent form over shorter trips when last seen and has won this C&D before while Secret Path is more than capable of a big run if obtaining the lead. Pillar is respected having just been thwarted over 6f in a recent trip to Wolverhampton.
