PRINCE ALEX has been lightly raced in recent years, but he showed that he retains his ability when fourth at Newmarket on his second run for his current yard in May. The 6-y-o is now 4 lb below his last winning mark and can get the better of Ravenscraig Castle, who has returned to form on his last 2 starts. Quantum Leap also merits consideration.
