In depth

Verdict

Elysian Prince ran into all sorts of trouble last time but had won over 1m2f at Lingfield before that. Alcatraz disappointed on his latest start having gone close here on a couple of occasions earlier while both Safira Menina and Light Of Air are upped a grade having placed on their latest outings. TANGRAMM has won seven times so far on the all-weather surfaces in 17 starts. He needs a bit more off his current mark but may well find it and Dean Ivory’s charge gets the nod to return to winning ways.
