Compensation awaits with Prince Ali again

Alan Dudman has 13/27.50 and 7/18.00 Sunday picks
It felt like Prince Ali was the one that got away last time at Wolverhampton, as I had tipped him just six days ago in a race won by outsider Tio Mio.
Tio Mio's jockey Gina Mangan got full marks for an enterprising from the front, but Joe Leavy (on Prince Ali) got caught of his ground when Mangan kicked away, and it was probably a case of the second and third leaving alone the front-runner as he was such an outsider.
He didn't come back to the field.
Today is a chance for a bit of compensation, and at 7/18.00 with his course record, that price is too big considering he goes so well at Wolverhampton.
He was a little keen last time in the race and over-raced, and his draw in 11 is not particularly helpful, but the price more than compensates for that for an each-way bet.
To say the Wolverhampton card lacks a bit of quality on Sunday would be the understatement of the year (and there's still time 2023), but those negatives in the final 16:50 lead me to oppose a couple of the market principals.
Churchill Bay is 9/25.50 yet is a maiden after 24 starts, while Revolucion is the same price and is also a maiden after 16 runs.
So this race is well up for grabs and My Boy Jack at least knows how to win.
He has form tied in from earlier this week over CD with Churchill Bay (who hit 1.02 in the run) behind Bernie The Bear in an Amateur Riders' Handicap.
Hector Crouch takes over from amateur Pippa Brown, and today should suit again for a run to hit at least a place as My Boy Jack stays 7f but is best at 6f and likes a gallop to aim at.
He hasn't a lot in hand from his mark, but not too many will in this ropey standard of racing.
