Verdict

Prince Ali has only won on the all-weather and has a penalty for last week’s Newcastle victory. Sudona hasn’t won for over a year but has been narrowly beaten the last twice and looks certain to get into contention. Photograph has continued to run well since landing a maiden handicap at Redcar while Limited Edition was staying on over a mile at Newbury. GRAYSTONE’s two victories have been over shorter at Yarmouth but he looks on a fair mark and the extra should suit so he gets the nod in a tight handicap.
