        Verdict

        PRINCE RHYDDARCH can eclipse Follow The Sun whilst Edas may be able to land a share of the spoils as well. The selection makes a quick reappearance under a penalty but that's no surprise given the authority of his victory here last time. Previous performances gave little indication that he was capable of galloping his way to an eighteen length winning margin but that's just what he did on his first run since being gelded and he's taken to go in again. Follow The Sun is another unexposed runner coming into the race on the back of a victory and the second has won since which makes his 5lb rise look a little lenient. He galloped on strongly that day so should have no problem with this longer trip and is feared. Cases of sorts can be made for a few of the remainder but Edas may be the one to concentrate on following his second at Beverley. He's exposed and hasn't won on the Flat for three years but he did score over hurdles a year ago and may not be done with yet. It goes against the grain to side with him though and we'll look no further than Prince Rhyddarch.
