    In depth

    Verdict

    A Group 2 winner in 2018, Ostilio probably exceeded expectations when second at Haydock on his return to action and should strip fitter today. Qaysar is a bit of an enigma but was very impressive in a Haydock handicap last time, though that has earned him a small penalty. PRINCE EIJI hasn’t won since his debut two years ago but it’s not through want of trying. He’s been running well in Listed company this season and can run the finish out of his rivals in allowed an easy lead with Dream Castle held on Ascot and Newbury running.
