In depth
Verdict
Be Proud has yet to win over 6f but placed over track and trip recently when ahead of Manigordo. Prince Of Abington has been thereabouts over the minimum distance lately and is preferred to Prince Of Bel Lir, who was runner-up over 7f last time. I Am A Dreamer finished third at Ripon and was ahead of Troubador at the same track before that while Lezardrieux scored at Catterick last month. ANCIENT TIMES (NAP) has won two of his last three outings and having beaten a couple of subsequent winners when successful at Epsom last time, he gets the vote.
