        Verdict

        Not the strongest race to finish the card with and Royal Prince, who is likely to be a leading fancy from the betting market, can send his supporters home happy; possibly at the main expense of the in-form Riley Boys and Spin King, who head the list of dangers. While there has to be a suspicion that there could be more to come from Fiore Di Bosco now that he has race fitness on his side and he could be one to bear in mind if makes a quick reappearance after this. However, Royal Prince does look the obvious one to concentrate on for the time being as he scooted up when breaking his maiden 10 days ago. James Fanshawe has not over faced him with his handicap debut and it will take a good one to stop him following up here.
