The consistent Hot Mustard is upped only 3lb for winning at Sandown last time but today's rise in class may prove more of a test and GOLD PRINCE is preferred. The latter was beaten a length in this grade at Salisbury last time and can race off the same mark today. Juncart has been keeping better company but has yet to race over further than 6f while Firmament scored over track and trip last year but has disappointed the last twice now. Ice Slice looks no nearer winning and Victor's Bet ended last season after landing a couple of amateur races over longer trips.
