Verdict
Bronze Prince has something to prove over today's trip after a poor effort at Ascot last time, though his earlier third in better company at Doncaster gives him every chance. ARABIAN SPIRIT is also dropped in class and judged on his latest third at Newcastle, Richard Fahey's charge looks set for a return to winning ways. He gets a speculative vote in a wide-open race. Venutius showed signs of a revival on his latest start and he could figure, while My Freedom, Divine Call, Marajaa and Markazzi are others to consider in a long list of contenders.
