DOUBLE MARCH has been narrowly beaten in both starts so far and was clear of the rest at Haydock last time. He’s preferred to James McHenry, who failed to show any progress at Thirsk recently. Awtaad Prince and Calypso may well improve but Charlie Appleby has a good strike-rate with the few runners he sends here and Castle Peak is a North American-bred newcomer to note. Legend Of Leros and Desert Falcon are others to keep an eye on.
