Peruvian Prince can make up for his narrow York defeat last time out and he can get the better of Celticello and Magic Echo. The selection hails from a yard in good form and he ran a blinder when just getting beaten in a competitive handicap at York last Friday. He didn't do a lot wrong in that race and if he can reproduce the form here then he should be tough to beat. Celticello arrives here in decent form but he does have a 6lbs penalty to shoulder for his most recent success and that may just find him out. Magic Echo was a little disappointing in a fillies' handicap at Southwell last time, but she did run well here back in April and she will go on the ground. Ahlawy is from a shrewd yard and is worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Peruvian Prince.
