Verdict
Easy Street won a lower grade chase at Warwick last month but has gone straight back up the weights. PRINCETON ROYALE deservedly got his head in front at Stratford last time and, though raised 5lb, this looks no tougher and Neil King’s charge is fancied to go in again in his current form. Hedgeinator had also been in good form until missing out on a treble when only fourth over these fences. But he still finished in front of Mercers Court and the latter has subsequently placed in lesser company. Running Wolf will appreciate the fast going but remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Leicester in November.
