The two that stand out here are Pillars Of Wisdom and Peruvian Prince who are expected to fight this one out at the finish, and the vote is given to the last named. Peruvian Prince started off the season in good form finishing second at Kempton and looked a horse destined to go places. However, he has run disappointingly on each of his last two starts. Having said that experience will be in his favour today and if able to get back to his early season form he will win. His main danger Pillars Of Wisdom ran well to finish second of seven on his penultimate start and again if returning to that form will go close. Of the newcomers, Punctuation looks the pick and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Peruvian Prince.
