Lochnaver won twice here last summer but has run poorly in two recent starts at Ayr. PRINCE ACHILLE (NAP) got off the mark at the 16th time of asking at Carlisle but had run well on his previous start and a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. He holds Termonator on that run and the latter hasn't won in 14 starts on Turf. Paddy's Fancy has won on fast ground though that was over hurdles.
