Nonrunner
Stoneacre Gareth faces better opposition today and that could put an end to his winning run, but last week's C&D winner Spinning Ridge has won off a higher mark and should figure again. TUDOR PRINCE has slipped down the weights and he returned to form when runner-up here last month. He gets the vote to go one better today and confirm running with third-placed Patavium Prince. The latter has yet to win on the all-weather, unlike Loyal Royal, who has won four times on Polytrack and could figure back over today's 7f.
