Race Analysis
BABYKEN (8) was a talented horse in France and came to the stable of Paul Nicholls with a big reputation however needed the run at Fontwell. Managed to build on that last time finishing second here last month. Stable are in fine form and could take plenty of beating. MARHABA PRINCE (4) ran well on hurdle debut. Produced a solid second at Sedgefield when last seen two months ago. Plenty was expected on that occasion and hard to fault. WAY OF STARS (10) proved a solid debutante for David Pipe at Exeter. Hood is now applied and will have a role to play. WESTERN CROSS (5) indicated enough ability in three starts to think a race of this nature is within his grasp.
