In depth
Verdict
PRABENI has been in the mix in maiden races recently and finished third at Newbury when stepped up to 1m4f last time. The runner-up has subsequently won and William Haggas’ charge gets the vote on the strength of that form. Definition attempts a longer trip on his return from a lay-off having been gelded during the interim while Ginger Lacey and Tuscan Pearl may get involved with normal progress. Celtic Chieftain failed to make the track when trained at Ballydoyle and the brother to Group 1 winner Maybe makes a belated racecourse debut for new connections today.
