PROSPERA won by four lengths over this trip at Kempton last Wednesday and Ralph Beckett has booked useful apprentice Oisin Murphy to counter her 6lb penalty. She looks poised for a hat-trick in this ahead of Jebulani, who is probably improving but has only won a Beverley seller so far. Duke Of Yorkshire found the company too hot at Newmarket last time but has a chance on earlier form and preferred to Grayswood, Bayan Kasiriga and Diddy Eric, who all finished second last time but are still seeking a first success.
