    Verdict

    Despite the small field this is a competitive affair where a chance can be given to most of the field, but we will side with Mull of Dubai to follow up a Windsor success last time. Prize Fighter ended a winless run of eighteen months when landing a Ripon handicap in emphatic style last time, but off a seven pound higher mark he may find this tougher. However, he is proven in the ground and must go well. Peruvian Prince landed his first turf success last time after completing a hat-trick of wins on the all-weather in the winter. That success came on fast ground however, and he may not be able to handle ground like this. Mull of Dubai galloped his rivals into the ground in testing conditions at Windsor last time, after an excellent third in a classy York handicap. He handles heavy ground, and under a six pound penalty Mull of Dubai looks fully capable of landing his second win in a week.
