        Verdict

        Jorvik Prince has looked high enough in the weights since scoring at Wolverhampton last month while Patrick was winning for the first time since 2017 when successful over 6f here recently. JEFFREY HARRIS completed a double here in the autumn of last year and failed to get a clear run when runner-up back at the track last time. An apprentice’s allowance helps his cause today and Jim Goldie’s charge may prove good enough. Longroom is not badly treated on his debut for new connections and preferred to Rockley Point off his current mark.
