BONNIE PRINCE BLUE remains 7lb higher than when scoring over C&D in April but this is his easiest task since then and he gets the tentative vote. Course winner Boy The Bell has slipped down the weights without so far showing any improvement though Jonnie Skull is usually thereabouts in these contests and could make the frame. This Ones For Eddy has won off higher marks here before and could figure on his first start since May and the veteran Gracie's Gift has outside claims on her past form.
