Jorvik Prince carries 6lb extra for winning over 5f here last week but should still confirm running with Storm Lightning. There was little between Noneedtotellme and Jessie Allan over track and trip last time when the former finished third but SNOW EXCUSE is preferred. The latter finished a couple of lengths ahead of Dalness Express when runner-up over course and distance a fortnight ago and Bryan Smart’s charge can race of the same mark today.
