Verdict
Prince Dundee is 7lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but is usually a factor around here. Alan King doesn’t run may here, especially over fences, so it may be significant he has chosen this track for the winning hurdler Midnight Glance to make his chasing debut. He is out of a winning chaser, though may have preferred a slightly easier surface. CROAGH PATRICK was beaten off a lower mark here last week but was a shade keen. If he settles better today, the much-improved seven-year-old could resume winning ways as he holds Scottish Accent and Wavelength on the form book and Dolly Dancer still isn’t really firing.
