UPPERTOWN PRINCE is penalised for an earlier success at Bangor but looks to have little to fear from today’s opposition. Donald McCain’s charge ran well again in a Grade 2 contest at Haydock last time and will take the beating. Geronimo was runner-up here on his racecourse debut but a long way behind the winner. He should improve for that and is still preferred to the remaining pair, who have shown little between them so far.
