Verdict

TROPEZ POWER's sole success on turf was as a 2-y-o but he has been knocking on the door of late and is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. It's likely that he will have most to fear from unexposed handicap debutant Ottoman Prince, who hails from an ultra-shrewd, in-form yard. Cancan In The Rain made it third time lucky for Charlie Johnston at Newmarket recently and also merits respect, along with Laser Guided.

  1. TROPEZ POWER (IRE)
