None inspire confidence in a weak handicap and Easkey Lad still finished a long way behind the winner when second at Hereford. But ADELPHI PRINCE may have finished closer than fourth at Ayr if not for hitting the last and he gets a speculative vote to open his account. Caro Des Flos has slid down the weights and posted a better effort at Huntingdon while Cold Shoulder didn’t get very far at Hexham before unseating having run better a Chepstow before that. Midnight Aurora is on a winning mark but has shown little so far this year.
