Verdict

Platinum Prince failed to land the odds at Brighton despite escaping a penalty and steps back up in trip along with OPTICALITY. The latter went close in a higher grade at Ffos Las in between placed efforts on the all-weather and looks to have leading claims on that form. Nine Elms has won twice over track and trip this year though is 6lb higher than his latest success while Control posted her best effort so far when runner-up at Leicester and is preferred to Sameem.
