Verdict

A competitive sprint featuring a few thriving sorts. MAHARAJAS EXPRESS can strike while the iron is hot and complete a quick hat-trick but Oriental Prince and Castan also arrive in winning form and are likely to ensure the selection doesn't get things all his own way. Match Play should strip fitter for his reappearance and also merits respect.

  1. MAHARAJAS EXPRESS
  2. ORIENTAL PRINCE
  3. CASTAN
