PRINCE CHARLEMAGNE was winning over C&D off a 7lb higher mark at this time last year. His recent second to Gandalf at Kempton suggests he'll be winning again soon and it could be today as he's dropped in class here. Rare Coincidence showed to better effect when third at Lingfield last time and he should be thereabouts, but more is needed from Irish raider Tinas Exhibition judged on her Polytrack debut here on Wednesday. Carnac has the beating of Six Of Clubs on their form behind Brabazon, but Sheila's Bond could prove a bigger threat stepping up trip.
