LOHENGRIN raised his game and looked ahead of his mark when a fast-finishing second in a Cork handicap 12 days ago and, if he can back that up, he's the one to beat in a race that should be run to suit. Kodiac Prince is a formidable opponent having run well at Killarney recently and Lauroline is worthy of respect debuting for a new yard.
