Prince Noel caught the eye last time and can land this at the expense of Pitbull and Bathwick Fancy. The selection was second at Mussleburgh last time out and although running with credit cheek pieces are applied for the first time to wake him up here. If working the oracle then this improving unexposed type can break his maiden tag eighth time of asking. Pitbull is a maiden after twelve efforts and although he ran well last year at Chester he has not shown anything like that form since so can be side stepped. Bathwick Fancy is more consistentand did run well on the all weather last month so he is to be noted in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Prince Noel.
