Verdict
The once raced pair of Prince James and Prince Of Nama are both entitled to come on for their first outings but both will need to if they are to get the better of Ed McMahon's FEAR NOTHING, who has earned a rating of 74 after eight starts and, if running up to the same form as when a close third behind Jigajig over course and distance last month, he should take all the besting. Papageno has shown promise for John Jenkins and has run well here before but he has a bit to find with the selection on official BHA ratings. Michael Wigham's Shamarlane is open to improvement after just three outings but looks booked for a place at best.
