All The Good, Prince Charlemagne and Gracechurch will fight this one out with the last named looking like the most likely winner. Gracechurch caught the eye at Redcar when winning on his seasonal reappearance. He also has course form after winning around here over eight furlongs last year so we know he handles the tightness of the track so is worth siding with. Prince Charlemangne bids to complete a five timer after wins at Lingfield. This looks a lot tougher though and will need to be right at the top of his game to continue his winning ways. All The Good did nothing wrong last year and improved from his debut at Newbury to score at Lingfeild before being put away for the season. Any market support should be noted but for the winner we return to Gracechurch.
