Prydwen made a winning debut in handicaps when successful at Yarmouth in October but is 7lb higher on his return. DANCE AT NIGHT makes more appeal as he was beaten less than a length at Newcastle last month and this longer trip may bring further progress. Forge Valley Lad won at Wolverhampton before placing here while Golden Valour debuts for a new yard having won a couple of times at Dundalk.
