The Old Soldier has been entered of late then withdrawn presumably hoping for faster ground. He should get this here and is taken by TEAMtalk to land this for trainer Allan Dickman. His two appearances this season have been encouraging and he looks fairly weighted here. Fairy Prince is quirky sort who is very capable on his day but not one to rely upon. Halcyon Magic won here on Wednesday and could follow up if reproducing that form.
