Paco's Prince finished in front of Badenscoth when third at Wolverhampton but was beaten by Global Art at the same track before that. The latter had fallen victim to STAR OF SOUTHWOLD (NAP) over course and distance in January and that form gives Mick Appleby’s charge every chance back at this level having raced in higher grade contests recently. Dommersen also has a shout after struggling in Class 2 company last time while Mainsail Atlantic will be sharper for a recent reappearance and should be winning handicaps this year.
