Despite being an expensive failure at Bangor on his reappearance, PRINCE KHURRAM wasn't beaten far and is likely to be a short price again here. He can recoup losses as he should strip fitter today and there isn't much among the opposition to excite. Like A Diamond was third on his hurdling debut at Catterick in December and has travelled up from south Wales. He's won twice on the Polytrack so can't be ignored but Clock On Tom has been out of sorts on the Flat this year.
