        Verdict

        Patavium Prince, Fantasy Explorer and Musical Romance are the three that catch the eye here and Patavium Prince is taken to atone for an unlucky defeat last time. After winning at Kempton, Fantasy Explorer ran a good race in defeat at Sandown behind Musical Romance, and on two pound better terms for a half length beating has a chance of reversing the placings. Musical Romance was subsequently staying on at the finish at Sandown to finish fourth and this speedy filly is likely to go close again. After scoring at Salisbury, Patavium Prince has been placed twice, and was a very unlucky third at Folkestone last time. he runs off the same mark here and can prove how unlucky he was here.
