The usual suspects line-up for the latest round of this sprint series. Pharoh Jake was second to Putin in a division of last Saturday's contest while One Way Or Another and Minimee finished behind runner-up Waterloo Dock in the other division. The latter was engaged to run here yesterday, but COMPTON PRINCE makes more appeal in this anyway. He ran well despite managing only fourth over track and trip earlier last month and is also preferred to the unpredictable Haadeeth.
