Dark Side Prince has been thereabouts over the minimum trip here still looking for his first success while Bluella also went close over 5f at the track on her penultimate start. But SHARRABANG found only one too good over course and distance on a couple of occasions before failing to see out a mile last time and Stella Barclay’s charge may prove the one to side with in this. Waqaas debuts on the surface and Tilworth Rose has yet to win on the all-weather.
