In depth
Verdict
Mulkev Prince looks ready to strike now and gets the vote over Autumn Mist and Barnards Green. Mulkev prince was fancied over the course and distance a fortnight ago, but his rider made his move too soon in the straight, and as they hit the rising ground he was collared by Ulusaba and Bobsbest. Nevertheless that was a fair effort from out of the handicap and off his correct mark here he can put matters right under Jamie McCarthy. Autumn Mist makes his debut for Michael Scudamore, having finished a well-beaten second to Follow The Flow on a trip over from his native Ireland just 12 days ago. The drop in trip and a first-time visor may help, but he did seem to go better on fast ground in his native land. Barnards Green is another that will be found out by ground conditions today, and for the winner we return to Mulkev Prince who can make amends.
