      Verdict

      Pauline's Prince should prove tough to beat here and he is nominated over Ginger Princess and Elusive Warrior. The selection looks like a winner waiting to happen and he was only narrowly beaten last time by Machinate at Wolverhampton, despite meeting trouble-in-running. Ginger Princess rates the main danger as she ran her best race yet at Wolverhampton last time when she finished strongly in third behind Four Tel. However, her overall profile is disappointing and it is debateable whether she can build on that run. Elusive Warrior has disappointed recently but he has twice won over this course and distance so he can't be ruled out lightly. Josh looks the best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Pauline's Prince to land an overdue success.
