SOULSAVER’s much-improved second behind Thundering Home at Plumpton has been franked and Anthony Honeyball’s novice can go one better today ahead of another Plumpton runner-up, Yukon Delta, who drops back down in trip. Prince Mahler has hit a rich vein of form and can’t be ignored, despite another 6lb rise. Shaddaii was favourite when unseating his rider at Plumpton last month but proved difficult to place last season. Blake Dean has become disappointing but the booking of Richard Johnson is a positive.
