In depth
Verdict
PRINCE OF DREAMS should be spot on now after a couple of starts over fences, including a third at Ludlow last time. He may well be good enough to land this ahead of Sandynow as the latter is not certain to appreciate the drop back in distance after a third over 3m at Uttoxeter. Pampelonne has claims on last month's third at Bangor while Fulgora and Special Robon are others to note on their chasing debuts along with French import To Live.
