Kiss A Prince is on a hat-trick after two victories at Lingfield but he's not certain to cope with Al Amaan, who was beaten less than a length in the latter race, as Ryan Moore's charge was returning from a poor spell of hurdling. The latter's stablemate Benhego was fourth in that event but that was his first start since May 2009 and he should have come on for the run. Record Breaker hasn't won since September 2009 though he's slipped to a fair mark as a consequence but COZY TIGER looks the one to beat. Willie Musson's charge, who hasn't had much racing for his age, returned from a break to beat Archie Rice cosily enough over the trip at Lingfield last month and though 5lb higher appears to have further progress in him.
