In depth
Verdict
Raghba had Tianella well behind when runner-up in a similar heat at Doncaster late last month and is entitled to improve as is Woodenbridge. The latter was a disappointing favourite on his debut recently but ran green and will be sharper but Bagan has not progressed from his initial start and Tripper may need the outing so the TEAMtalk vote goes to Romany Prince. David Elsworth's charge caught the eye with a staying-on fifth of 20 over 10f on soft ground at Windsor on his first start and can show the benefit of the experience over the extra two furlongs.
