Noble Deed finished just ahead of New Rich when third at Lingfield recently while Compton Prince was placed at the same track when something went amiss with last year’s winner Rigolleto. El Principe returns to action off a 4lb higher mark having won at Redcar last summer while Dominium slips further down the weights as he bids to end a long losing run. Without a win in over 30 starts in Ireland, ATHASSEL (NAP) has now won four times since joining David Evans and is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton on Monday. But he drops in class for this and looks likely to make another bold bid.
