Prince Dundee has finished second twice over longer trips here this season but does most of his winning at Hexham. Eveque is another who has been knocking on the door but LASTOFTHECOSMICS looks more progressive and can get his head in front today after a couple of seconds at Musselburgh. Skyhill looks held on the form book while there are stamina concerns surrounding Don't Need To Know.
