    Verdict

    James Fanshawe has a good record at this course and can enhance it with Royal Prince, who has a cracking chance of landing the hat-trick today. My Paris and Rising Shadow are weighted to play a strong hand and should not be dismissed from the bottom of the racecard, while Appalachian Trail has been highly tried in his last two starts and reverts to more realistic level. Go Bananas can also be placed to good effect now that he has a run behind him but there is a suspicion that he may still need this and is saved for another day. Which directly contrasts Royal Prince, who has improved with each of his starts this season and does not have much to find to land his three-timer in this company.
