Kyles Prince, Sweet Indulgence and Polish Power are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the vote is given to Kyles Prince. The selection won with a little in hand when beating Velvet Heights last time out and although rising in the weights again has conditions to suit and looks the one to be on. Sweet Indulgence rates the main danger on his latest third behind Leslingtaylor but he has yet to prove he acts on this surface and is taken on with this in mind. Polish Power is another worthy of respect but he was behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Lisathedaddy won well last time when beating Northside Lodge but this looks tougher. Of the remainder Top Seed is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to Kyles Prince.
