Verdict
PRINCE LLYWELYN looked a nice prospect when winning his bumper but he’s not really progressed. However, he has shown promise in two of his three chase starts and he drops down a grade for this. Three-times hurdles winner Kendelu is interesting having a first try over the larger obstacles and Stung For Cash should make a better chaser than hurdler given he has already won a point-to-point. Organised Solution has also won between the flags but he’s disappointed under Rules so far.
