PRINCETON ROYALE’s presence means that three of his four rivals will have to carry more than their allotted weight. The top weight has a decent record around here and is taking a huge drop in class so should get back to winning ways if anywhere near his best. Wicked Willy has become very disappointing and seems to have lost his love for the game while Dream Bolt will be a teenager in a few weeks time and is 7lb out of the handicap, though Jack Tudor claims back most of that.
