Verdict

PRINCE DU SEUIL doesn't seem to find a lot off the bridle but didn't do a lot wrong off his new mark when fifth at Ffos Las last month and won over this trip at Folkestone earlier. He's narrowly preferred to Wincanton runner-up Lupanar, who is very consistent but gets little respite from the handicappers as a result and hasn't won since December 2008. Frontier Spirit boasts decent form in novice company and should be thereabouts on his handicap debut but Wheres Johnny is facing stiffer opposition than when successful over C&D last month and Latin America's first-time visor is unlikely to bring about enough improvement to figure here. Lomitaar may have needed his latest run but could find this company too hot.
