There was little between runner-up Prince Rock, BRIGAND and Come On Bear over track and trip last time. But John Butler’s charge had to race wide on the turn for home and may come out best on this occasion with Oisin Murphy’s presence a positive. Tarseekh finished in front of Ventriloquist when second at the same meeting here last month having won over course and distance back in February. He looks a threat ahead of Shyarch and Captain Sedgwick, a close-up fifth at Lingfield last week.
