Raised only 5lb for a convincing win in a similarly small field at Newton Abbot, WALDEN PRINCE will likely be a short price to follow up against out-of-sorts rivals. Oliver's Hill has finished a tailed-off last in both starts this year and Fair Frank has lost the plot since winning at Southwell last year so Code Of Law might be the one for forecast-backers as he has recorded his only wins to date over this course and distance.
