Harry Eustace has his string in excellent nick so it could be worth siding with his PRINCIPALITY given the race should set up well for him and he starts 2026 on a fair mark. Irish challenger Far From Dandy wasn't seen to ideal effect when fourth in the Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh and can also have a say, while Rainbow Nebula, Classic Encounter and Carron all have something to recommend them in this wide-open handicap.
