ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE has a 6lb penalty for his win at Chester but did it easily and his stable remains in fine form. With Neil Farley's claim just about negating the extra, the top weight can score again. Rio Cobolo is capable of going close if in the mood, but Frontline Girl and Frequency both look as though they are in the handicapper's grip and North Central's sole win came on fast ground. Keys Of Cyprus, the winner of this three years ago, is well treated on his old form but looks on the downgrade, though fellow veteran Beckermet has been thereabouts lately and could make the frame again.
