Verdict
All of Prince Dundee’s victories have come at Hexham. MISTER BELLS has been racing over shorter distances recently but placed over 3m2f at Down Royal last year so won’t find this trip a problem. His experience can give him the edge over chasing debutants Gentleman De Mai and Cuddly Dudley. Maid Of Houxty was only beaten a length at Kelso two runs ago but is now 0-9 in career starts.
