Verdict

At the weights this has the makings of a match between LINDORO and Invincible Prince and the former can just edge it, with Liberty Trail appearing to be best of the rest. Our pick last won over this trip at Epsom in October on ground similar to today's. That was in a handicap from a mark of 83, and today he takes on a bunch of platers from 77, which sees him favourably placed. He has not been in bad form of late, and the yard is certainly going well, so we will take him to prevail. Invincible Prince can take advantage of any underperformance from the selection. Ralph Beckett's string is also going well and this three-year-old has not yet fulfilled the promise of his winning Kempton debut from a year ago. The drop back in trip and into this grade for the first time might see him go close to winning. Liberty Trail was a fast ground Redcar victor over this distance in the autumn and has been going well in sellers and claimers this season without yet scoring. He should the thereabouts but the same fate may await. Daddys Gift has claims but is definitely better over 6f and Lindoro is nominated.
