Forecasts
Daira Prince (11/10), Mr Tyrrell (11/4), Character Onesie (7/2), Armagnac (7/1)
This may prove tactical and that makes predicting the outcome a challenge. Armagnac needs to prove his effectiveness on turf and is ruled out accordingly. Mr Tyrell is becoming frustrating and the yard's record here adds little to his appeal. Character Onesie will appreciate the stiff finish here but prefers to come off a strong gallop. That leaves DAIRA PRINCE who is dropped in distance here having disappointed last time. As a keen going sort there may be merit in the switch, although a muddling race could be against him. That may be a chance worth taking as he represents a yard with a good record here and he has more room to improve.
