Nyrche, Prince of Persia and Bernini look the ones to concentrate on and the confident vote goes to Nyrche. The selection was a good second behind the highly regarded Back To Ben Alder last time out under similar conditions and need only reproduce that effort to score. Prince Of Persia rates the main danger he won a seller in good style a couple of runs ago and then was a fair fifth behind Green Tango but he will need to better that to defeat the selection. Birnini is from the yard that houses Back To Ben Alder but he does not appear to have the same ability. Of the remainder Haile Selassie was a fair fourth behind Sharp Rising last time and he is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Nyrche.
