Verdict
Dunraven Prince has won three times between the flags and Tom Scudamore is an interesting jockey booking here but the market will probably prove to be the best guide as to what's expected back over hurdles. First Morning was third to the gambled-on Planetoid at Newton Abbot on Wednesday while Harris Garden, Icanmotor and Crazy Bold have place claims on their best form. SONOFAGUN hasn't raced since November but is tumbling down the weights and takes a big drop in class here. He might still have a bit of scope and gets a tentative vote in a weak finale.
