Kyles Prince, Undettered and Bucks are three against the field in this competitive opener and the vote is given to Kyles Prince. The selection won in good style last time out when beating Lady Gregory, enters handicaps on what looks a fair mark and with one of the top armatures booked she will be hard to beat. Undettered rates the main danger on his latest second behind Charlie Bear he runs off the same mark here and will not be far away. Bucks is another that could go well on his latest third behind Nobelix but that was over a longer trip and although he has won over this trip in the past the drop in distance is not sure to suit now he is older.. Of the remainder Zilcash has another top amateur booked and could go well at a price but he has yet to win at this trip and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Kyles Prince
