This looks a terribly weak affair and on all known form, it seems to lie between JOHN WILLIAMS and Cool Valley and with the latter struggling to put his head in front, it looks a golden opportunity for John Williams to score again. He's arguably slightly better class than these and should be up to taking this. Elysian Prince looks the one for trifectas.
