Aegean Prince (SR 123, 11/10) is the class standout in a field where the next-best SR is 118 — a meaningful gap at Group 3 level. Charlie Appleby's yard runs at 33% career strike rate and has clearly identified this as their #1 runner over stablemate By The Book (SR 92, 20/1), with Billy Loughnane booked rather than James Doyle, who takes the inferior yard companion. The form reads 1/12-1, with the last run a win just 49 days ago, and at age 4 this horse is at peak physical development. The two unproven flags (DistFit:? and GoingFit:?) are genuine questions — this is 1m4f on soft — but stepping up one class (ClassMv:↑1) and running off a mark 11lb higher than the last win are offset by the SR dominance and the market's confidence in holding firm at a short price.
Each-way alternative: White Birch.
Main danger: White Birch — White Birch (SR 118, 7/2) is the second-highest rated horse in the field, holds course form, and at 7/2 the market clearly respects it — if Aegean Prince fails to handle the soft ground on its first attempt at the trip, White Birch is best placed to capitalise.

Running off a mark 11lb higher than last winning mark (MarkMv:+11) is a steep rise; at Group 3 the class ceiling is real and the SR gap to White Birch (118) narrows sharply if Aegean Prince underperf…
