Sandy Cove and Redlorryyellowlorry have both won at Brighton this year but have been beaten off higher marks subsequently. Eugenic opened his account over a mile at Salisbury and there may be more to come over this extra distance while Bourbon Prince disappointed when favourite at Newcastle last time but will be suited by this faster surface. PALACE DRAGON never looked like winning last year but the longer trip should suit Sir Mark Prescott's charge and he gets the vote to make a winning return in this modest company.
