Verdict
Prince of Elegance, Dazed And Amazed and Golden Balls look the three for the shortlist here with the vote given to Prince Of Elegance. The selection won well last time when beating Non Compliant at Goodwood. He scored impressively that day and this progressive colt looks like one to stay on the right side of. Dazed And Amazed ran well for a long way at Ascot last time before fading in the closing stages. It remains to be seen whether the step-up to 6f will suit but he appears to have an obvious chance from a good draw. Golden Balls made a pleasing debut over this course and distance when finishing third behind Thousand Words. He was an expensive purchase so there should be more to come and he is one to note in the market. Prince Rossi won well last time and is another to consider, but for the winner we will return to Prince Of Elegance.
