The ace draw should give PRINCE OF PLEASURE (1) every chance to produce his best. He enjoys a class drop on what he has been tackling and has won when third-up before so should be hitting peak fitness. Leading hope. SORRIDERE (5) produced a solid effort when resuming, coming from a wider barrier and racing three deep before clocking in midfield. Draws a couple of spots lower and owns a decent second-up record so should be improved. LUSAKA (12) is having his first start back from a spell of four months having ended last campaign with a string of placings including a third in the Golden Nugget. Tricky draw but boasts a record of four wins from six starts when fresh. SPYGLASS (7) deserves respect having won here two back before coming from a 40m handicap for second in last week's G3 Easter Cup.
