Crazy Horse was well beaten in this last year behind the Richard Hannon-trained winner. The latter runs Tabarrak today, though he’s penalised for a Listed win at Newbury in September and has yet to race on ground this soft. ZABEEL PRINCE won in testing going at Yarmouth last term when landing the middle-leg of a hat-trick and Roger Varian’s charge is taken to make a winning return in this. Intern beat little to land the odds at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago though Ryan Moore stays loyal while both Born To Be Alive and Another Touch return from Meydan with the latter preferred on today’s ground.
