Verdict
BLACK ICEMAN (NAP) has been in better form this year and went close over 1m5f at Chelmsford last time - he may be up to landing this off his current mark. By contrast, Lacey has gone off the boil of late so Medieval Bishop is preferred on last week's second over track and trip. Yorksters Prince can figure if staying the longer trip while Lean Burn was in winning form over hurdles last year but hasn't raced on the Flat since 2012.
