COURTLANDS PRINCE (NAP) is still improving judged on his return from a lay-off at Wincanton. Dead-heating for second, he was later placed third having drifted into a rival on the run-in but can race off the same mark in this. Coeur Tantre is only 4lb higher than his earlier win at Newton Abbot but unseated early on at Wincanton last time after a blunder while Angus Glens continues to slide down the weights having placed in a selling hurdle last month. Winning Ticket has lost his way recently but Beau Du Brizais and Innoko have plenty of scope over hurdles and are not out of this.
