Verdict
This is a competitive heat where PRINCE JAMES may be able to handle a mark of 66 on his handicap debut and follow up his recent Wolverhampton win. Mick Easterby steps up his colt to six furlongs and there is plenty in his pedigree that says he will go well at the trip. With Danehill also in those bloodlines then there is hope that he will handle this slower surface and he gets the vote. Elusive Fame and Westwood both like it here and while the former might find this too sharp, the latter races over his optimum distance and should be very competitive from this mark. The same applies to Ace Of Spies, of whom the assessor is asking searching questions, while he appears to have the measure of Grudge over a trip that stretches him. Prince James is suggested.
