Verdict
A poor race here but something has to win it and the principals look to be Sugio, Bestseller and Prince Prospet and we will take chance on the last named. The gelding from the Linda Stubbs yard has been in good form of late and a reproduction of his latest second behind Grand Lass would make him hard to beat. Sungio rates the main danger he was third in a claimer behind Beyond The Pole last time at Lingfield. However he is not proven on this surface and for that reason he is opposed. Bestseller was third in a maiden behind Herelda last time and this looks easier so she has definite place claims. Of the remainder Daimajin would have a chance on his best form but he has never won over the trip before so for the winner we return to Prince Prospect.
