A very ordinary start to proceedings as though Prince Tam has won at the track that victory came over fences. Antoella has been beaten out of sight in recent starts over hurdles and on the Flat while King's Chorister is very hard to win with. Along with Waltham Abbey, Barry Murtagh's charge was also behind SYDNEY COVE at Hexham last month and it's the latter that gets the vote here even though he's been beaten at Sedgefield and Musselburgh since. Carters Rest looks the pick of the remainder.
