Trinityelitedotcom was beaten a head by Caspian Prince over 5f here two weeks ago and re-opposes on identical terms. But he's won well at Lingfield over this trip since and could well turn the tables. Alben Star was well backed for a better race at Southwell during the week but missed the break and could never get on terms with the leaders. He shouldn't be ignored and Burren View Lady arrives off the back of a course and distance win and should also make her presence felt. STONEFIELD FLYER is a tentative selection in an open race as he was competing in Meydan at this time last year and looked to be on the way back at Kempton last week - he could be very well handicapped.
