Peculiar Places was only beaten a neck at Market Rasen in April and will be fancied to go one better but there was plenty of confidence behind CYDERCOURT at Ayr earlier this month and he may be capable of recouping losses on this slightly better ground. Irish Prince can improve on his run in a better race at Newbury and Totterdown was hampered when fifth at Ludlow but may need to settle better to last home here. Cappaway has a decent NH pedigree but will probably do better when faced with a set of hurdles.
