Prince Tam and TRANSACT both know their way around here and may be the pair to focus on in this. The two met over C&D last month when the latter came out on top and, though the former is 3lb better off today, Martin Todunter's charge can come out on top again. Gavroche Gaugain hasn't been seen since pulling up at Musselburgh in December and Pamak D'Airy is still struggling for form, despite a tumbling mark. None of the others have shown enough lately to suggest they can get involved.
