Prancing Oscar has been raised 5lb for winning at Hamilton but won off today’s mark last year. Archie Perkins went close over today’s trip before scoring over a mile here recently and John Caesar was placed in amateur company at the same meeting. It was soft going when Allnite placed over 1m4f at Thirsk but GEALACH GHORM wasn’t beaten far in a tougher race at Haydock last time. Having slipped 17lb down the weights since joining Sarah Hollinshead last year, it could be his turn today.
