No shortage of winning form on offer though Pike Corner Cross carries 6lb extra for last week’s success at Kempton. Princess Way landed a hat-trick on the Turf with a victory at Brighton last time but has won just the once in 26 previous outings on the all-weather and ARROWZONE is preferred. The betting suggested the latter was expected to bounce back to form over track and trip last month and he duly obliged with a ready success and Kevin Frost’s charge can go in again on that form. Lord Murphy is usually thereabouts and is back on the same mark as when winning here in April.
