True Prince was just touched off when starting favourite for a Kempton handicap last month but this is a slightly stronger contest and he's 4lb higher now. Thrust Control won at Beverley and Catterick in April but may be in the handicapper's grip now while Talent Scout may also be a few pounds too high at present. PARAMOUR is now 9lb lower than when winning at Newmarket a year ago and has been running well enough this season to suggest he's up to landing a race like this.
