      Verdict

      Northside Prince went close over track and trip back in December and can race off a similar mark but a chance is taken on MEGARA handling the surface. The latter won easily over 2m at Lingfield last time and Sir Mark Prescott's charge may not have finished improving yet. Argot won over hurdles last month and has placed on the Flat before while Thou Swell finished third over 1m6f here recently and is preferred to Lingfield runner-up Ruler Of The Nile and Kelly's Finest on that form.
