Verdict Wolf Prince heads our figures for this race, a handful of pounds clear of Fiveonefive with the rest of the field further back again. Fiveonefive, Sir Allen and Spinola Bay are the main dangers, but nothing here gets close enough to challenge top spot. Wolf Prince is our selection, and a confident one on this evidence.

A winner three starts back, and four starts back, he was third two starts back before a sixth last time out, but already has today's trip and going under his belt. Fourth on our figures, the question is whether he rediscovers that earlier scoring form.
