        Verdict

        Goldhill Prince was an impressive winner last time and can follow up here from Anfield Dream and Il Pranzo. Andrew Reid's gelding came with a terrific burst of speed to go two lengths clear in the straight over course and distance last time. Baileys Applause closed up in the last 50 yards, but the selection was value for more than the official winning margin. It was only a seller but he gets in here on a very low weight and looks the one to beat. Anfield Dream has to be a danger to all having contested some very strong events recently. He has been racing over further but is just as capable over the minimum. Il Pranzo is also stepping down in trip following some promising efforts over over six and seven furlongs. He has bags of early speed and should be in the shake up. Speed Dial Harry could be best of the remainder, but for the winner we turn to Goldhill Prince.
