This looks the stronger of the two divisions and the consistent Glorious Prince gets a narrow vote ahead of Ben Chorley and Arena's Dream. Mick Quinlan's colt came up against a very well treated horse last time in a Yarmouth nursery and was only just touched off. He still looks to be improving and back in maiden company he should go very close. Arenas Dream drops in class having finished second in a class four event at Ayr recently and has to rate a major threat. Peter Chapple-Hyam has a very good line to juvenile form and so the once raced Ben Chorley has to be given every respect. Packers Hill and Espejo are another couple who have shown plenty of ability and cannot easily be ruled out. So in what looks a very open contest the tentative choice is Glorious Prince.
