Despite losing his way just lately over fences, this race is weak by comparison and MERCIAN PRINCE may be able to utilise his preferred front-running tactics to good effect. Decor Irlandais has a tough task against him at these weights, but will be waiting to take advantage if Amy Murphy's runner can't get back on track. Frimeur De Lancray is also of interest, while Fortia would be if there is some market warmth. Champagne Noir is another not ruled out.
