PROHIBITION could only manage fourth back on turf at Musselburgh last week having gone up 6lb for his previous win at this track. However, Leonna Mayor's claim and the return to Polytrack could make the difference today and he gets the vote. Penbryn has been threatening for some time now but usually finds at least one too good and Cahala Dancer makes more appeal on the back of her promising comeback at Kempton last time. Notabadlad ended last season with an improved effort on the turf here and is worth a second glance in the betting on his reappearance.
