No Dominion won back-to-back races over C&D last month and a hat-trick isn't out of the questions, despite a further leap up the weights, but ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE may be the one to beat if handling the Fibresand. Luke Leadbitter has already won on Declan Carroll's gelding, who was third at Doncaster 10 days ago, and this will be the first time he's appeared at this lowly level. Charlcot and Fishforcompliments were both second at Wolverhampton recently and are also worth a second look, as is Royal Holiday, but Mcmonagle may be better over 7f and the penalised Flying Pickets only won a claimer here last time.
