Verdict
Prince Of Persia might just provide the answer here in a tricky race. Much as the selection¿s sole win has come in a seller, he put in a good run outside of that sphere on his first run for new connections last time. A repeat of that should see him go well again. There was no jockey booked for Fast Mix at the overnight stage but, given that he is just four pounds above a winning mark, he has to be given all due respect. The once well-touted Andy Gin has become disappointing, Dix Bay wins in his turn and is just a pound above a winning mark now, and his rider claims five pounds, while Candarli has place claims now that he has dropped a little in the ratings. Quedex has been raised three pounds for winning a Fakenham seller, and Thumper has chances if getting back to his best with McCoy on him for the first time. Overall, though, we will side with Prince Of Persia.
