Hard to be confident in such an open affair, but PRINCE OF BURMA opened his account at Kempton in November beating Flying Power by four lengths. That form looks even better now with the latter having since won and John Gosden's charge gets the vote on his handicap debut and first start on turf. Reposer also beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Wolverhampton last year and has claims on his reappearance, while Indian Emperor and Youhavecontrol arrive on the back of maiden victories and are others with scope for improvement. Perfect Mission should be winning soon off his current mark, but this is tougher than the races recently won by Spirit Of Grace and Dolly Parton.
