Sugar Prince showed good speed on his opening run at Lingfield and again when runner-up to Alkadi over 7f last month. Compton Prince led for most of the way on his debut over 7f at Wolverhampton and with that under his belt and a shorter trip he should be thereabouts. Willies Wonder is the type to do better this year, probably over further, but so is HANNIBAL HAYES and he gets the vote. Jeremy Noseda's charge made a very promising racecourse debut over 5f at Sandown last summer where he would have finished closer but for being impeded. He's Ryan Moore's only booked ride of the meeting and can make a winning return to action.
