Off a new career low mark PRINCE TAM may finally break his maidens tag and we give him the opportunity to do so in a weak handicap chase with Lerida and Troodos Jet the obvious dangers. As well as now being light the selection is given his easiest assignment to date here. In addition he hasn't had a great deal of action so can show us more and he won't have to improve much to get up. Lerida is up in the weights despite being beaten five lengths last time out. That said that race has worked out quite well and he has some of the stronger form on show. Troodos Jet has five lengths to find on the one we've just mentioned after their last meeting but has found some consistency recently having only been held by an in-form type in two of his last three runs so he remains on the list. Satindra looks the only other to give serious though to now also down to a light looking rating but in a race that won't take much winning we go for Prince Tam.
