UN PROPHETE arrives in form and has been given a chance by the handicapper so is fancied to get back to winning ways in a race where plenty have question marks against them. Love The Leader showed he's no back number with his recent Fakenham success so looks the one to chase home Venetia Williams' veteran. Young Turk appeals as the pick of the remainder.
