Qudwah proved a huge disappointment when last seen in action in July but her profile suggests that she may be best caught fresh and she may yet fulfil the promise that she showed earlier in the season. Green Park's good season continued with victory at Warwick and he has claims if handling this surface but there's no doubt on that score for Illustrious Prince who has claims from just a 3lb higher mark following a narrow course and distance success. Rule Of Nature was readily held by BARQ over course and distance three weeks ago and a 5lb rise for the Godolphin owned gelding seems more than fair given that it appeared to be a competitive heat. Viking Spirit is well handicapped but that has been the case for some time and he's yet to take advantage and more of a threat may be posed by the consistent Duster.
