Deserted Prince has solid claims on the pick of his form and the booking of Jamie Spencer certainly takes the eye but, at likely odds, the son of Desert Prince makes limited appeal and preference is for Zizou, who gets the vote ahead of King of Franks and Anyone Can Whistle. The last mentioned would have claims on the form shown at Yarmouth last month but has disappointed in his last two starts and is probably best watched at present. Trimwaki seemed not to stay 1m2f at Nottingham last month and may do better back in trip today, while King of Franks looks to be going the right way and could be of interest. The vote though goes to Zizou, who has been running in better grade than this of late and may appreciate the drop to the basement division.
