The Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (4.20) is definitely one of the races of the week, even without last year’s Derby winner Desert Crown.
Adayar, the 2021 Derby victor, Luxembourg and Bay Bridge are all Group 1 winners who are in the mix, but I’m taking My Prospero hit the big time. William Haggas’s colt was a late starter and I think he was still a slow burner when he was beaten in two Group 1 races at Ascot - the St James’s Palace Stakes and the Champion Stakes - last year.
When he returned in the one-mile Lockinge Stakes at Newbury, it looked at one point as though he was going to fall out the back of the TV - but then he stayed on powerfully into fourth. The way he came home really caught my eye and I can see him landing a Group 1 prize now that he’s back over another two furlongs.
