Verdict
There is probably more to come from Our Three Sons but he turned in a shocker last time at Market Rasen. No Ceiling is probably still a few pounds too high and Moss Street has gone up 3lb for finishing second at Uttoxeter, despite being beaten eight lengths. COURTLANDS PRINCE will have to defy a 6lb higher mark if he is to complete his hat-trick but he gets on well with Harry Cobden, whose 3lb claim will again be a plus - the top weight can win again.
