BONNIE PRINCE BLUE may not be the force of old, as evidenced by a mark 23lb lower than when registering the last of his three C&D wins in April last year. However, he only just failed to catch the winner over 7f here on Tuesday and gets the vote to return to winning ways in an uninspiring handicap. Only Ten Per Cent went close in a maiden over C&D back in December and could figure along with Gracie's Gift, who regularly makes the frame over track and trip. Flow Chart and Tamino could prove best of the rest if producing one of their better efforts.
