Verdict
PRIME DESIGN and Conor O'Farrell made a bold bid to make all over 3m at Bangor last month. Dropped in distance here and sporting blinkers for the time, David Pipe's seven-year-old looks the one to beat here though it would be no surprise to see Tower produce a better performance back in selling company. Cartmel second Shannina also has claims but patience is wearing thin with Drummers Drumming, who has had plenty of chances. Princely Hero should go well in this grade, however, if a spell over fences hasn't blunted his speed.
