tracked leader, effort 3 out, soon no impression, kept on same pace
made all, jumped well, hard driven 2 out, stayed on strongly
Princeton Royale has had a rapid turnaround having finished a well-beaten third at Aintree on Saturday. JOSSES HILL beat the smart God's Own in a similar contest over course and distance in February and his only subsequent start was in the Ryanair at Cheltenham. He's a useful chaser when everything falls into place and may have too much speed for Camping Ground on the prevailing going, though Robert Walford's six-year-old remains a nice prospect over the larger obstacles and did win a Grade 2 hurdle at the start of the year.
