Uae Prince was a disappointing favourite at Doncaster in October but will be winning races this year. Amazement has already been winning and is raised 5lb bidding for a hat-trick having beaten Count Montecristo at Wolverhampton earlier. Final has also won on the all-weather this year but Footlight is upped in class for this and Mulligatawny has joined Roger Fell having won a maiden race in Ireland. CHANCERY (NAP) won this in 2015 and tumbled down the weights last year. He ran well for third at Doncaster on his reappearance and David O’Meara’s charge could go close again racing off the same mark.
