CALEDONIA PRINCE has been in fine fettle at Southwell this year at around today's distance. He's worth another chance back on turf now he's got his act together especially as Jo Hughes' charge can race off a 6lb lower mark despite winning on the Fibresand last time. Dangers abound making their seasonal debuts and include September's course winner Whispered Times along with Hoppy's Flyer, who won her maiden over C&D in October. Petsas Pleasure and Le Chat D'Or have claims on their placed form of last season and all three of Broctune Papa Gio's wins last year came at this track.
