Verdict

PRINCE ACHILLE made a promising return to action when second at Beverley a fortnight ago and given he's won second-time-out the last 2 seasons, hopes are high that he can go one place better. Show Biz Kid was better than ever when winning at Yarmouth so he's the obvious alternative, with Molinari likely to give it another good go.

  1. PRINCE ACHILLE
