Keith Melrose is taking on an odds-on shot with 'attractive' sprinter

Dusky Prince
2.20 Nottingham
1pt win at 11-2 generally

Given the speed Silky Wilkie showed when winning at Haydock on Sunday, and that he is drawn right on the rail this time, it is understandable that he is a warm order having escaped a penalty for that win.

Taking him on is a bit daunting, but from a handicapping perspective, Dusky Prince is 2lb better off with the favourite than when finishing a length and a half behind him at Goodwood on his latest start.
