In depth
Verdict
Prussian Eagle has shown nothing since arriving from Ireland but there are possibilities about the four-year-old With Pleasure, who has been placed twice over timber and won on Tapeta last year for Simon Crisford. Comanche Chieftain has hinted at ability and is unexposed but LOOKS LIKE POWER is probably the one to beat as he knows where the winning post is here and has been dropped 5lb since his latest third over track and trip. Boston De La Roche should be better than he’s shown so far and may be the pick of the remainder.
