Verdict
OASIS PRINCE completed a hat-trick when successful on good to soft over the course and distance then didn't get the run of the race on a return visit in better company. This is his level and the ground won't be a problem so he gets the nod. Divinity landed a Ripon handicap at this grade before finding Listed company too hot at York where the very fast ground was also against her. Global Gift has been raised 6lb for landing a Class 5 handicap on soft ground at Carlisle while Wiretap will be tackling this trip and going for the first time. Zip is also trying a longer trip but acts on the going as he showed when runner-up over 7f here on Saturday.
