Walden Prince has a decent strike-rate and was only beaten half-a-length off this mark last week at Uttoxeter so must go on the short-list. Saffron Prince had Rakaia Rosa well behind when second at Fontwell last month and No Cardinal was tailed off when he won at Newton Abbot in July. But David Bridgwater’s charge was only sixth when ROMAN NUMERAL won here earlier and David Thompson’s runner is only a pound higher today despite a recent second at Hexham – he’d finished ahead of Carnaross and Gin And Tonic previously at Sedgefield. Toe To Toe wasn’t beaten far at Worcester a month ago but is 0-12 over fences.
