4/20	17 Sep 26	Ayr	5f	Good To Soft	Class 5	69	9/2F
	Oriental Prince arrives here in career-best heart after winning last time out, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear asset at 142 lb from stall nine; the risk is that his record in recent starts shows he can run poorly, with a sixth two starts back sandwiched between his best efforts.
