Prince of Rome won so easily over track and trip on his handicap debut that he’s been raised 12lb. Elsaabiqaat has gone up 7lb after opening her account with a victory at Sandown while Jack's Point landed a novices' race over course and distance in a first-time hood but the headgear is removed today. DEPUTISE has come up short in handicaps so far but in better company than this and the Haggas colt gets anther chance at this level. He won a couple of novice races earlier and has the beating of Thegreatestshowman on that form.
