Formscan  - This is open and only a tentative vote can go to ORIENTAL PRINCE. Jim Goldie's charge has found considerable improvement since having a hood applied in December, winning three of his four starts since, and a further 4lb rise might not be enough to stop the progressive four-year-old. Maharajas Express left it late to get up at Wolverhampton on Monday. The gelding must shoulder a 5lb penalty today but merits respect in search of the three-timer, while fellow hat-trick seeker Castan and Leodis Dream are just two more to consider.
