Verdict
Prince Nabeel was narrowly beaten at Chelmsford when upped to 7f but UTILIS placed over the same trip at Doncaster on his debut when refusing to settle in the early stages. He’ll know more today and this shorter trip should suit Brian Ellison’s charge. Iato's Angel finished third at Ayr last time and is going the right way while Finn Russell, War Treaty and Spirit In My Soul all step up in trip.
