NABURN has been raised 6lb for his all-the-way victory at Catterick and though that was over further he has Ben Curtis in the saddle again and can complete a double. Bling King is penalised for last week's victory in a Leicester claimer and this looks tougher but Artful Prince found soft ground and a shorter trip against him at Newcastle and has a decent chance on the balance of his earlier form on quicker going. Geanie Mac is consistent enough but her only victory to date came in a 2m seller.
