Verdict

Parc Des Princes has his ground and was second over this trip at Musselburgh in November but is probably better over shorter and hasn't raced for a while. Maraweh deserves the utmost respect as he has won twice over track and trip and was third over further here last month following a break. Johnny Go and Another Dimension could sneak into a place but BALLINVEGGA (NAP) looks the one to beat. Jackie Stephen's maiden winner has already won over 3m between the flags so the step up in trip is going to suit.
