        Verdict

        DEAUVILLE PRINCE was caught close home at Haydock last time and Tom Dascombe's charge gets another chance in this. Silver Rime won last year's renewal off a 5lb lower mark but Athletic has been raised a further 8lb for scoring at Chester last week. Musselburgh winner Khelman faces a tougher task in this but both Lesha and Earth Drummer could figure after going close on their latest starts. Fieldgunner Kirkup needs some cut in the ground and Gran Canaria Queen remains 9lb higher than her latest win.
