Prophesy will be winning off his current mark before long but will need more cut in the ground to do so while Tectonic has had plenty of chances in similar company but has failed to take one of them. Staffhoss is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Musselburgh in July and Baltic Prince finally showed some progress for his slide down the weights when second at Wolverhampton. SUNI DANCER doesn't win very often but scored with a bit to spare over track and trip a fortnight ago and may well shrug off a 4lb rise in her current mood.
