      Verdict

      Blinkers have transformed Artful Prince and, though penalised for Monday's easy win at Ayr, James Given's gelding will be backed to complete the hat-trick here. But DAMA DE LA NOCHE was back on form when third in a better race at Newmarket three weeks ago and wouldn't need to improve on that to play a part here. Willie Twiston-Davies' claim is a definite plus. Zhuba should also be thereabouts again if the cheekpieces have an effect but War Lord hasn't really sparkled since making a winning reappearance and is trying a new trip while Loucal disappointed last time.
