    Verdict

    Matewan has been raised only 2lb after scoring at Ripon but is upped in class. A winner at Windsor, Fantastic Blue is another facing a more difficult task today though is still preferred to recent course and distance runner-up Sempre Presto. Wolf Prince has found only one too good in all three outings in novice company and will be sharper for last month’s reappearance but DANTE’S VIEW (NAP) is preferred. Sir Michael Stoute’s colt gets closer with every start and, having just missed out in this grade at Catterick on his handicap debut, he gets the vote to go one better in this.
