Verdict
It was soft ground when POET’S PRINCE finished second at Haydock on his recent debut and a chance is taken Mark Johnston’s colt is just as effective on this faster surface. Medici Oro was third here behind Villa Tora, who runs in the opening race, while Northern Law looks a likely improver. Phoenix Lightning is a half-brother to five winners, including the smart sprinter Hitchens, and makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Drover.
