Verdict
Roman Dynasty has returned a beaten favourite in all four starts since winning at Nottingham but Finery had Last Hoorah back in third when scoring over track and trip, though is 4lb higher. TAHITIAN PRINCE has slipped down the weights and, after a placed effort at Kempton last time, the Hannon charge is taken to return to winning ways. Shoot To Kill won at Brighton last month while Super Den and Cephalus scored on the all-weather early in the year so can't be ignored.
