Calder Prince usually runs his race without being quite good enough and was placed yet again at Wolverhampton last time. Fuente has recorded both wins to date over 6f including here on his latest start but GINGER FOX (NAP) scored over today’s trip at Kempton last month with De Vegas Kid back in fourth. That was the former’s second win in only four outings for Dave Loughnane’s yard and there looks more to come. Tintoretto has switched stables having won twice in Ireland and is preferred to the struggling Bungee Jump.
