Caspian Prince and Dark Shot finished first and second respectively in this race last year and both are back to do battle once again. The latter may reverse form with the winner today though, having made a very promising debut for his new connections at York last month. At the prices, however, PETTOCHSIDE looks the one to back. Twice a winner in competitive handicaps on soft ground last season, he had a few of today’s rivals in behind when scoring at Goodwood last month. Under what looks his optimum conditions, he is favoured to land the spoils today.
