Little Stevie and Carlingford Prince were both due to run in the same race here last night so that result will have to be taken into account. The top weight would have obvious claims if turned out again but ROLL OF THUNDER has a chance of picking up the winning thread again if he settles better than he did at Hexham 12 days ago. Charlie Snow Angel has been dropped a couple of pounds so is not out of this, though has been struggling to get his head back in front.
Charlie Snow Angel 8-1 (10-11) Towards rear, headway before 2 out, in 3rd after 2 out, one pace, 3rd of 7, 6 1/4l behind Smuggler's Blues (11-13) at Bangor-on-Dee 2m 4f hcp (4) gd in Apr.
Roll Of Thunder 9-2 (10-5) Raced keenly, held up behind, headway under pressure between last 2, chased front pair last, ridden and kept on flat, no extra final 100 yards, 3rd of 9, 4 1/2l behind Reverse The Charge (10-10) at Hexham 2m 4f hcp (5) gd in May.
Highland Peak 16-1 (10-4) In touch in mid-division, outpaced after 12th, tried to close 2 out, no impression, one pace after, 5th of 13, 12 1/4l behind Mrs Vonn (10-6) at Kelso 2m 6f hcp (4) gs in Apr.

Carlingford Prince (IRE) 16-1 (10-5) Raced keenly, pressed leader after 1st, led next, headed 13th, chased winner, lost place when not fluent 4 out, weakened next, tailed off, 6th of 8, dist behind Glittering Love (11-1) at Ayr 3m hcp (4) sft in Feb.
