Verdict

PRINCE ALEX arrives better than ever so is hard to side against here despite a 4 lb rise for his stylish Beverley win. Ralph Beckett's hat-trick seeker looks to face his biggest threat in the shape of top-weight Edinburgh Castle, although Western Duke is also much respected with this drop back in trip likely to show him in a better light.

  1. PRINCE ALEX
  2. EDINBURGH CASTLE (IRE)
