      Verdict

      A small field for a race in which Richard Hannon has a good record and it can pay to side with Earl Of Links to get the better of Prince Charming, while any market moves should also be noted. Debutantes do well in this race, and with both fitting the bill for that it is a case of separating them into winner and likely runner-up. Earl Of Links will get much further than this in time, but can start off with success coming from a yard in form and who know what it takes to win this. Prince Charming will perhaps be more suited to the trip on breeding and is not dismissed lightly, but with no buzz about him on the gallops that we know of in writing then he is marginally preferred with Earl Of Links.
