Verdict

Princely Hero has won his fair share in this grade and can never be ignored around here. But his last three runs suggest he is high enough in the weights now whereas SADLER'S STAR is tumbling down the handicap. This is probably his level nowadays and Michael Blake's charge can make the most of the weight he receives from June's course and distance second Old Dreams and the quirky Morestead. Joe The Rogue is unexposed under Rules but may need more time.
