Princeton Royale only failed by a nose to land the hat-trick at Plumpton and is an improving stayer. But he has another 6lb to carry here, which may be too much. Big Generator steps up in distance after wins at Worcester and Southwell and Solway Prince is 11lb higher than when successful over course and distance in July, though ran well over 2m4f at Perth last month. DARTFORD WARBLER has never looked like staying this far in the past but kept finding when beating Ever So Much over 2m4f here last month and could stay the extra now he's a bit more mature. San Telm is preferred to Victor Leudorum of the remainder.
