Precision Prince never looked like catching the winner when runner-up at Lingfield while both Comeonfeeltheforce and Tails I Win improved over a longer trip here on their respective latest starts. Freesia Gold has scope for further progress and so does CASTING. The latter finished third behind Um Shama in a seller at Lingfield last time but re-opposes on much better terms and the Hannon colt is taken to turn the tables and come out best today.
