WESTERN PRINCE made only a fair start at Newmarket when behind Derby entry Sky Kingdom but improvement is expected in this. Eljeemi is another likely improver while Niceonecenturion drops back in distance after a debut third at Chelmsford. Morando was fourth here on his introduction while Andrea Atzeni partners stablemate and newcomer Catskill Mountains. Other newcomers to note include Aflame, who is out of a prolific mare and Perpetual Change, a half-sister to four winners.
