Verdict

OTTOMAN PRINCE gained a shock debut success over 7f at Chelmsford in October and reappeared to score over 6f at Wolverhampton in May. He should be even better suited by this trip and looks the type to run up a sequence. Garden Oasis gained the ninth victory of his career at Ayr last month and wasn't suited by softer ground at Carlisle. Phantasy Mac has shown his best form on the all-weather but Tropez Power has run very well in strong handicaps at Doncaster and York so has to be respected. Cancan In The Rain has improved with each run this season and is only up 2lb for scoring at Newmarket.
