Verdict
PRINCE'S TRUST finished clear of the rest when third in what looked a decent maiden at Goodwood last week. That's the best form on show and he can open his account with a similar effort. Mutanaweb will most likely step up on his debut fourth at Kempton and finish closer but the remainder with experience make no appeal. Of the newcomers, Endless Credit is related to a Listed winner on the Flat and also smart hurdler Celestial Halo while Song And Dance Man and Hispania are others to note in the betting.
