Prince of Rome ended a long losing run when scoring over track and trip with You're Cool close up in third and Tathmeen and Reassure further behind. He’s 2lb higher today but has won off higher marks in the past while OUTRAGE is also back on a winning mark. The latter has done most of his winning at Newcastle and went close there last time but he looks worth another try back here and gets the vote. Shamshon posted a better effort at Goodwood recently and Pop Dancer will appreciate this return to 5f.
