In a very weak and winnable contest,
Prince Dundee (has the measure of
The Conn) ticks plenty of boxes as a bold jumping, dual C&D winner. However, he has climbed considerably in the weights since those spring successes, was beaten 11L by a horse who flopped next time out (at Uttoxeter) and does have a few questions to answer on today's rain-softened ground. Therefore, the hardy grey stayer
LOWANBEHOLD is the preferred option. He ploughed through the mud when winning the four-miler here in November 2017, won again at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) in April 2018 and faced a very difficult task from out of the weights in a Class 3 handicap latest.
