Verdict

Blue Spinnaker must be watched in the betting but we are happy to take a chance on PRINCE EVELITH ahead of a shortlist consisting of Handsome Falcon, Moheeb and Celtic Step. The selection comes here on the back of close-up third at Carlisle behind Sunnyside Tom. As it stands that may not be amazing form however he has made the frame on each of his three starts this year and will give backers a good run for their money from a good draw. Frederick Tylicki's 5lb claim will help and with no ground worries he is preferred. Royal Fantasy and Addikt may not be badly treated back from their winter breaks, however of more interest may be Moheeb who ran well in defeat last time but his previous romp came in the mud at Haydock and he may need some rain. Blinkers are tried on Indian Skipper, Arctic Cape represents a powerful yard in good form, whilst Goodbye Mr Bond won this race last year off a 6lb higher mark which looks significant and connections know the time of day. Other to consider include Thunder Gorge, Tenjack King, Admiral Dundas and the two Celtics (Step and Change), but in a fantastically tricky puzzle we will side with Prince Evelith.
