Verdict

KISS A PRINCE failed to land the odds in a similar contest over C&D last month. He was facing higher rated rivals on that occasion, however, and has been in better form since so Dean Ivory's charge looks worth another chance here. Beggar's Opera shares the same official rating as the selection but hasn't raced since November over hurdles and 2010 on the Flat while Oneiric has a bit to find at the weights though she does arrive with a recent C&D win under her belt. Always Ends Well has a second at this track to her credit but is too unreliable to recommend.
