Prince Of Bel Lir bids for a hat-trick having won over track and trip last month when beating several of these. Wentworth Falls and Oso Rapido filled the places while last year’s winner Giogiobbo, Roundhay Park and Dazzling Dan finished further behind. Aberama Gold drops down in class having slid down the weights but the progressive TANMAWWY (NAP) is preferred. The latter made a winning start in handicaps when successful at Windsor and a first-time hood may well bring further improvement from Charlie Hills’ charge.
