Verdict

Our Tommy is sure to be a popular choice, having proved his well-being here when chasing home Executive Office over this trip last month. However, that wasn't the strongest of events and preference is for Mulkev Prince, who was a winner at this meeting last year. He is ridden by one of the best amateurs around in Richard Burton, and the old-timer is taken to prove too strong for his rivals. Trusting Tom never seems to run two races alike, while Follow The Trend looks to be too high in the handicap for the time being.
