Racing Post verdict
Third-partyWolf 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.
