Prince Khurram heads the weights in a modest finale but hasn’t won over hurdles in more than two years and is likely to find at least one too good again. Cougar Kid could figure if on a going day as he’s not badly handicapped. Pretty Reckless is a lot less exposed than her rivals and her stable also run Keepin Time but On Alberts Head was beaten in sellers last month, though has changed stables since. ANTON DOLIN won under Lewis Stones at Ludlow in the spring and he’s started slipping down the weights again so gets a tentative vote.
