NATIVE RIVER keeps running into a place and is still a maiden after 14 starts. However, he won't get many better opportunities and had Concrete Finisher and Crowned Leader behind last time so can finally get off the mark. Abstract Paynter has now gone 20 starts without winning so it wouldn't be a major surprise if the newcomer Evie's Prince, from a top trainer/jockey combination, made a successful debut.
