Verdict
Mostly Sunny scored at Newcastle in November while Aztec Empire won at Kempton in February. But NOVEL LEGEND (NAP) also scored at the latter track last month on his reappearance and James Fanshawe’s charge is fancied to show further progress back on this surface. Vino Victrix had the measure of Star Caliber when scoring at Goodwood last autumn though the former subsequently finished behind runner-up Call My Bluff at Chester. Zain Nights is preferred to stablemate Sleeping Lion while Prince Alex had just the one outing last year and has switched yards once again.
