Focail Eile and Ted's Brother are drawn wide but going well at present. The former has relished the move back to John Ryan and scored impressively at Musselburgh recently, though was also entered at Sandown yesterday. Ted's Brother should be competitive off a mark of 73 over his optimum trip but lacks course experience so, with the Declan Carroll yard in great nick at present, it's ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE that gets the vote. A repeat of his recent effort at York behind the rejuvenated Blues Jazz would probably be good enough here. Jungle Bay and Gemma's Delight, first and second here recently, may be the pick of the remainder.
