King's Apostle, Genki and Lipocco are the three to focus on here with King's Apostle taken to complete a hat trick. Salisbury winner Lipocco was only just touched off by Genki at Newmarket, before disappointing last time in a competitive affair. He can go well though on the faster surface he prefers. Genki was raised six pounds following that Newmarket success, and ran a sound race when finishing second at Pontefract on his last start. He is a pound worse off with Lipocco so there should not be much between that pair here. King's Apostle has won two on the bounce, with a Ripon success followed by a Kempton win last time. The form looks nothing special and this is a sterner test, but he is clearly progressive and King's Apostle can lead them home.
