In depth
Verdict
A particularly poor seller with few in the large field able to boast solid credentials. Wigmo Princess did manage to secure a Folkestone selling handicap victory earlier in the season and had several of today's rivals behind including Rojabaa and Harbour Bell last time out at Leicester. However, his overall form leaves him with something to find even at this lowly level. Scurra and Pure Mischief have become disappointing and remain maidens while Halland Park Lad looks on the downgrade so a tentative vote goes to Orake Prince. Admittedly, the son of Bluegrass Prince disappointed last time but has claims on his previous staying-on second in a one-mile handicap at Bath and should go close if reproducing the form.
