Verdict
Stall 1 and a front-running profile may well be a marriage made in heaven for CALDER PRINCE who looks sure to make use of his good draw and keep his good run of form going. Sun Lover is an obvious improver but has that improvement stalled a little of late and he's drawn slightly wider than ideal. Echo Of Lightning is rising through the handicap but should get a race run to suit and is given a chance while Kenstone isn't left out of this despite a career high mark. Gabrial's Kaka looks to be just about the pick of the Fahey trio and will be dangerous if he can find his form off this mark.
