Prince Of Bel Lir won this last year off a 9lb higher mark but had only three rivals and he’s hardly set the world alight this season. Shark Two One is on a long losing run while Ascot Adventure disappointed at Thirsk after a third at Beverley and hasn’t raced over a trip this short in almost two years. Winter Crown is 0-6 on Turf but did win over 5f at Newcastle in February when SNUGGLE (NAP) was third. The latter got off the mark at Windsor last time, however, and is progressing so can reverse the form over this extra furlong.
