In depth

Verdict

Most of these are not in obviously good nick at present but BOURBON PRINCE rates the exception. His last two runs have been satisfactory if unspectacular but this looks a modest affair and he appeals as by far the safest option, especially with the recent resurgence of the Bell yard added into the mix alongside the useful 5lb claim of his pilot. Its All A Game is fairly exposed by now but continues to deliver a decent account in Class 6 company. He should be on the premises once again. The market should help to reflect the chance of Modify on his return from a break as he did show some moderate promise when last seen on Fibresand and it wouldn't take much improvement to see him get involved here for his prolific yard.
