Northside Prince continues to run well without success and was second again at York last week when Nanton finished four lengths further back. Rocktherunway popped-up at 25/1 at Doncaster last time when beating KNIGHTLY ESCAPADE a length. The latter can re-oppose on better terms here and Brian Ellison's charge is taken to come out best on this occasion. Winning chaser, Houston Dynimo, was beaten off today's mark here the last time he raced on the Flat and Platinum makes more appeal on his second at Catterick last month.
