Percy's Prince scored over track and trip last week but only by a neck and CASA COMIGO is preferred. The latter returned a clear winner over today’s distance at Lingfield to land a double and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him in this. Barca has placed in both subsequent starts since scoring over 2m at Chelmsford while useful chaser The Young Master is not so young anymore having last won on the Flat way back in 2014. Spring Run won over 1m6f on the Turf at Lingfield recently though a previous poor attempt at today’s trip fails to boost confidence.
