        Verdict

        ARDENT PRINCE looks the percentage call in this handicap and he is put forward to beat Nabeeda and Guildenstern. The selection ended a long losing sequence when he won here last time out. A change of tactics seemed to work the oracle for him that day so he could be capable of going on from that, and a 6lbs penalty may not be enough to stop him. Nabeeba wasn't beaten far at Southwell on Tuesday when he finished third behind Head To Head. He raced a little too keenly that day so if he can settle better tonight he could be a major player. Guildenstern has a fair draw and this course and distance winner is more than capable of getting competitive. He wasn't beaten far at Kempton last time when he showed enough to suggest that his turn would not be far away. Reg Hollinshead has his string in really good form at present so All You Need could go well at a price. However, Ardent Prince looks to have sound claims and he is put forward as the pick.
