Verdict
Prince Prospect has shown much improved form for the step up to this trip having been placed over course and distance on his last two starts and gets the TEAMtalk nod to concede weight to inferior rivals. The Lynda Stubbs-trained gelding looked certain to score last time after leading at the distance only to be collared close home and can defy a subsequent 1lb rise. Glitter And Glory has proved a model of consistency of late but stays further and has looked a little one-paced at this trip so may be vulnerable while Interstice has no previous experience on this surface so is best watched. Another Diamond is well treated on her Chepstow win in Septemebr but is better on turf but Vandenberghe failed to stay two miles here last time and will appreciate the return to this trip but does not appear particularly well handicapped at present.
