This is a tricky handicap to call and while Potentiale, Kokkokila and Cape of Luck are all closely matched and fancied we'll take a chance at some value in the shape of COSSACK PRINCE. The four-year-old is a full 10lbs lighted than the last time we saw him on the level after finding his previous burden far too much on his last start in this sphere. That rating also is three pounds lower than the last time he scored and after a couple of solid efforts over timber he should go well over a trip he likes. Potentiale has to concede weight all around here but has been competitive, without winning, when this high in the weights and should be in the shake up. Kokkokila failed to land a blow off this mark last time but should go better this time while on the pick of his form Cape of Luck is really well treated but those best performances were a long time ago now. Not the best race on the card but it is competitive and we'll take a chance on Cossack Prince.
