In depth

Verdict

Walden Prince has been showing signs of life lately and has been placed in his last two starts around here. But TRUCKERS HIGHWAY (NAP) was more like his old self at Bangor after a wind operation and can record a third course victory as, despite a 4lb rise, he’s still on a decent mark. Myroundorurs ran well after a lengthy absence at Southwell in February and Nightfly has found only one too good in a couple of starts since winning at the same track in December. Bajardo also has claims along with Jackthejourneyman.
