Irish Prince may be capable of better now handicapping. He’s had a wind operation since last seen and also wears blinkers for the first time. Outrageous Romana won a similar contest at Uttoxeter last month and is only 5lb higher. However, she seems to save her best for that track. Warwick winner Chatelier couldn’t cope with the extra 7lb at Uttoxeter and has his stamina to prove over this trip, as will DISTANT HIGH. But we’ll take a chance on Richard Price’s maiden as he has been running on late over shorter and most of the others also have something to prove.
