Verdict
Precision Prince had Pot Luck back in fourth when scoring at Wolverhampton recently though the latter re-opposes on much better terms. Chakrii scored over track and trip before placing over 1m3f at Kempton with Lady Wolf behind while Margaret J posted a better effort over a mile at Wolverhampton last time and could go well. But WILLKOMMEN showed a big improvement when placed at the latter track on his handicap debut and it’s Marco Botti’s colt that gets the nod with further progress expected.
