PRINCE IMPERIAL (1) bids for a hat-trick following wins at Market Rasen and Plumpton with the latter a narrow neck victory. Makes first outing this year. Leading contender. HECOULDBETHEONE (2) produced a good 2L success at Plumpton three weeks back. Previously won this time of year. Dangerous. BALLYBEGG (3) placed a narrow head second at Ludlow over 2m5 1/2f last month. Possibilities. MONTECAM (5) rounds out the shortlist.
