In depth
Verdict
The Prince gets the confident vote with Templet and Charlie George rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Heversham and with conditions again in his favour and off what looks a fair mark he is taken to win again. Templet rates the main danger as he is taking a big drop in class but he showed virtually nothing last time so can not be backed with any confidence. Charlie George is another that could go well on his best form but he was disappointing in this grade last time out and he will need to improve on that to defeat the selection The Prince.
