      Verdict

      Mandalay Prince is selected here ahead of Tebee and The Mighty Ogmore. Mandalay Prince left the impression that there is a good bit more to come when showing improved form to score at Goodwood last time. As such, in a modest heat, he gets the vote despite his penalty. Milliegait has it to prove after two disappointing runs this season, and it will be interesting to see how Seeking The Buck goes on easy going having come good on good to firm at Brighton last time. John Gosden's Tebee is open to improvement now that he goes handicapping, while Princess Twinkle found the markedly-improved Froissee too hot to handle at Yarmouth last time but certainly holds claims of bagging some money, although literal formlines with the same horse give The Mighty Ogmore a good chance of finishing ahead of the filly today. Finally, Grand Dream and Hot Diamond need to step up on their efforts to date if they are to feature today and, once again, for the selection, we will side with Mandalay Prince.
