Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Wolf Prince is clear on our figures at Sligo, rated 137 and a full 14 lb clear of his nearest rival on our book, which makes him a confident selection in this competitive 18f contest on good to firm. Stormbreaker, Cappucino and One Last Tango are the chief dangers, but the gap back to our selection is substantial. It's a deep twelve-runner field, yet Wolf Prince's advantage on figures gives us high confidence in his claims.
