Verdict
Those at the top of the list at least have winning form, with Lakota Brave and Blushing Prince appearing to be head and shoulders above the rest, although Our Destiny is not badly treated and may take a hand. Lakota Brave has been saddled with topweight thanks to some useful efforts, but with young Jean-Pierre Guillambert in the saddle claiming 5lbs, will have plenty of supporters. However, the man in form, Kieren Fallon, has been booked to ride Blushing Prince and that sways us in favour of Linda Stubbs' runner. The five-year-old, formerly trained by Jeremy Noseda, has twice been successful over the course and distance, including on his latest engagement. Both wins came in sellers but this is little better and the booking of the champion shows that connections mean business. They might lose him if he wins here and that is a distinct possibility.
