BRONZE PRINCE looks ideally placed to pick up the top honours as he won here over this trip on his only start to date last November and with plenty more to come from the Godolphin runner he is fancied to win on seasonal reappearance. Imprimis Tagula has a great record on the all-weather and will enjoy a return to the Polytrack where he has won before, but he is generally more of a fan of six furlongs and found this trip too far at Ayr last time weakening within the final furlong. Golden Shaheen won two starts ago and this expensive three-year-old makes the shortlist. Titan Triumph is back to a competitive mark on his preferred surface, whilst Malcheek could make the frame having won a weaker affair than this here earlier in the year.
