Prince Of Passion showed a bit more last time which suggests a return to form is imminent while Maggie Pink has been in fine fettle of late and won two of her last three starts. The latter should be in the firing-line again but another chance is given to IOANNOU. A tad disappointing on his handicap bow having won over course and distance before that, Noel Quinlan's colt should find this easier. Course regular Piccolo Express is another with claims ahead of Ace Master and the frustrating Silver Wind.
