Pinkneys Prince can race off a lower mark back over hurdles having fallen on his recent outings over fences. But NORTHERN BAY is preferred on his latest placed effort over 2m at Ludlow as he also ran well over track and trip before that. Maiden Revaader is another with decent claims having found only one too good at Wincanton while Kastani Beach finally came good over hurdles last time with a win at Plumpton. Running Wolf scored in a lower grade at Fakenham a fortnight ago and The Game Is A Foot is another to consider.
