Verdict
PRINCE DUNDEE just missed out at Hexham last time when stablemate Buddha Scheme fell. Lucinda Russell’s charge can go one better in this. Cudgel placed yet again when also second at Hexham and will be sharper for the outing but Charlie Snow Angel has struggled since winning last year’s renewal with Gipsy Lee Rose and Sandhurst Lad others out of form.
