Verdict
Cufflink couldn't cope with a penalty for winning at Yarmouth and was well beaten at Ayr last time behind BARTON BOUNTY. The latter has also been beaten since but in much better company than this and Peter Niven's charge is taken to return to winning ways. Yorksters Prince landed a claimer at Redcar last week but this isn't much better and he can figure while recent placed efforts from both Essell and True Pleasure give that pair a shout. Echo Of Footsteps went close over track and trip last season and is another to consider.
