Verdict
Lord Uhtred went close at Haydock back in July and makes more appeal than Chelmsford third Sudden Ambush. But GOZO ran well for fourth on soft going at Goodwood a fortnight ago and gets the vote on this quicker ground with any further progress. Dragonball Prince is related to a couple of winners but has no easy task on his debut.
