        Verdict

        Prince of Delphi is less exposed than most of these but Henry Candy's colt was disappointing on his handicap debut last month and is hard to back with any confidence here so preference is for Black Moma, with Russian Rocket rated the pick of the remainder. The selection showed that he can handle cut in the ground when a creditable third at Sandown last time and, having been dropped 2lbs by the handicapper since then, he looks worth chancing. Matterofact would probably want faster ground, while Egyptian Lord is clearly better on the all-weather. Hythe Bay could be of interest but has yet to prove that he has the speed for the minimum trip and of more interest may be Russian Rocket, who has been given a chance by the handicapper on his return to turf.
