Tudor Prince can win this at the expense of Astronomic View and Blue Rocket. The selection has been knocking on the door of late finishing second at Epsom and more recently at Kempton when second to Stagehand. He looks to be off a handy enough mark and while he is in such good form he is worth sticking with. Astronomic View is less exposed with two runs under his belt finishing third on both occasions. He definitely showed improvement on his latter run and another bold bid is expected. Blue Rocket has his debut for a yard doing well at present so any market moves should be noted but for the winner we return to Tudor Prince.
