Things went to script for Prince Of Arran with his connections publicly begging the handicapper for a weight penalty after taking out the race. Just 0.5kg will shift him up to around 29th; 1kg will leave him about 23rd in the Order. I think there's a chance of 4 or 5 of the current top 24 not going on to contest the Cup, so he'll be hoping for not only a penalty of some sort, but also some surety after third declarations next week.
