Verdict
PRINCE DUNDEE was foiled in his course and distance hat-trick bid here last month but holds The Conn on that run and, dropping back down a grade, may well recoup losses. Lowanbehold has won off a higher mark but hasn’t been at his best since second at Musselburgh in February. Lawtop Legend was well beaten on his chasing bow but should be open to improvement. Dutch Canyon and Dulce Panem are both long-standing maidens under Rules.
