Prince Evelith gets the nod over European Dream, with Daaweitza, Decree Nisi and Rainbows Classic all respected in the finale. Prince Evelith showed his wellbeing with a gutsy effort at Nottingham where he was sent on three out before managing to hold on in a close finish. Although upped in the weights, he has more improvement to come so is selected to beat fellow last-time-out winner Decree Nisi. The latter made a successful handicap debut at Carlisle recently and seems to have settled down since being gelded. Daaweitza is returning to form and his stable has been in form over the past couple of days, so he has a chance of reaching the frame as well. Rainbows Classic has yet to be placed to good effect but will when dropping down the weights, but on this occasion will do well to get the better of Prince Evelith.
