Verdict

A good big-field contest that can go to WOLF PRINCE. He doesn't look handicapped out of things in this sphere and should have come on plenty for a recent spin on the level. Listowel 1-2 Drop The Anchor and Getaway Gorgeous can go well again, while 2018-winner Golden Spear also looks primed for a big run.
