Solway Prince never figured in a much better race over 3m at Perth last month having shown promise in bumpers and is likely to find VENUE a tough nut to crack here. Donald McCain's novice has been showing decent form at Sedgefield lately and should have few problems defying his penalty against these. Towerburn could sneak into a place but Parkie Boy sees a racecourse for the first time and is likely to need the experience.
