Twenty Eight Guns has been paying the price for last year’s exploits but she’s back on a winning mark now and can’t be ruled out. Princeton Royale is a pound lower than when a close third here in December and came up against a well-treated rival at Huntingdon next time. Flaming Charmer has every chance on these terms and course and distance winner Cody Wyoming beat JARLATH into second at Fontwell last month. A blunder two out cost the latter dear that day, however, and he can reverse the form on 6lb better terms.
