Verdict

Prince Kalamoun can finally discover the winning habit with Splash the Cash and Dnata Flyer appearing to be the obvious dangers in the pack. Alan Swinbank's charge has proved something of a bookies benefit of late but he is perfectly genuine and has merely been unfortunate to run up against one too good on a couple of occasions. There are no secrets now but he should be up to this assignment. Splash The Cash has put up his better performances on a softer surface. That said, he is off a helpful enough mark if good enough. Dnata Flyer wasn¿t particularly fancied on handicap debut at Hamilton. We¿ll wait and see on this occasion. Hold up performer, Princess Rose Anne won her last outing for Jim Bolger as a juvenile. The market is watched to see if she has trained on. Bohobe went off the boil following a victory at Catterick. Shadowtime was quietly backed on his latest outing at Redcar so it would be no surprise to see any support here. Dolly No Hair has run well here previously. Prince Kalamoun should be given one final chance by the punters.
