Tahitian Prince opened his account over 7f at Doncaster on his reappearance but is upped 7lb. Stablemate Elegant Erin was sent off joint-favourite here last week but her saddle slipped and she finished well behind the winner and course specialist Accomplice, who has now won seven times at the track. BILLHILLY (NAP) has improved for being gelded and made a winning start at Nottingham for Charlie Fellowes’ yard. There looks more to come from him over today’s trip and he’s preferred to Princesse Animale, who missed out on a hat-trick of course wins when third last time.
