In depth
Verdict
Intisaab ran well at Newmarket last week on his first start since wind surgery but this softer surface may not be ideal. Blackheath would also have preferred quicker ground but Princess Power is not without hope if fully wound up with a similar remark applying to Quick Look and also Call Me Ginger. Only 2lb separates this field on ratings so ROYAL PROSPECT shouldn’t be unduly inconvenienced by sharing top weight. Julie Camacho’s sprinters were in fine form at Newmarket last week and the five-year-old won on good to soft at Thirsk around this time last year.
