Verdict

The Prince looks the one to be with here and he is taken to score at the main expense of Khanjar and Soyuz. The selection is in the form of his life and although the handicapper is slowly catching up with him, this looks easier than the race in which he finished third behind Zero Tolerance last time out. Khanjar was a good second behind Vicious Warrior at Lingfield last time and although he is better off at the weights with our selection from that run, he still looks to have plenty on to reverse those placings. Soyuz looks to have improved since joining Kevin Ryan but this trip looks too far for him and for that reason he is opposed. Strong Hand is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to The Prince.
