Bonnie Prince Blue is the pick, with Blackat Blackitten, One Night In Paris, Froissee and Resplendent Nova seen as the main dangers. Bonnie Prince Blue does not have the best of the draw in stall three, but apart from that has leading claims on a couple of decent placed efforts of late. His latest third to stablemate Jamieson Gold at Sandown was not at all bad, and back on the Polytrack, he should make a bold bid to register another course-and-distance success. Blackat Blackitten was a fair third on his handicap bow at Newbury, and having won over seven-furlongs at Carlisle the time before, will appreciate the return to that trip. One Night In Paris in contrast has gained both his wins over a mile, but still appears reasonably handicapped, while Froissee drops back to today's distance for the first time since June. Resplendent Nova has in the main been pretty consistent, but will do well to shrug off topweight, and we would rather lean towards Bonnie Prince Blue in the hope that Michael Hills can get across from his low berth.
