PRINCE OF VASA scored over track and trip last month by over three lengths and, after a modest effort over 7f here, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. A line through the runner-up Gracie's Gift gives him the beating of another recent C&D winner in Ridgeway Hawk, though Ace Of Spies showed a bit more here last time and he could prove a threat off his current mark. Joe Le Taxi may do better now dropped in class and Whiskey Junction has outside claims on his return from lay-off.
