Three-year-olds have a good record in this and PRESCIENCE will no doubt prove popular having just missed out over 1m4f here last time when five lengths clear of the rest. He is preferred to Biotic and Compton Bird, both placed in amateurs' races last time, while Kitten's Red, Melodica and Dolphin Village all found one too good in lower grade handicaps on their respective latest outings. Alaweer is lightly raced and probably better than his handicap debut fifth at Ffos Las suggests.
