Kiss A Prince needs further nowadays and Imprimis Tagula tends to save his best for Southwell. Comrade Bond should go well with a recent run under his belt, however, and Ibiza Sunset won't be far away if repeating his earlier good effort at Wolverhampton under today's amateur. DRAKES DRUM was quietly fancied in a similar event at Doncaster on his reappearance and ran well for a long way until fading badly in the soft ground. That should have blown any cobwebs away and Clive Cox' charge is given another chance today.
