Verdict

Mick Appleby does well with his older horses and getting them back to form and CASPIAN PRINCE, who has already won this race three times in his career, is taken to do so again from a 1lb lower mark than last year's success. Just That Lord can be forgiven his run last time and can go well again while Dark Shot was runner-up in this race last year and looks like an each-way player after a fine effort at York last time out.
  1. Caspian Prince
  2. Just That Lord
  3. Dark Shot
