      Verdict

      Mount King sets the standard though never threatened the winner when runner-up at Beverley on his reappearance. But ABU ROYAL was beaten only a head when second at Thirsk last time and any further progress should see him off the mark. Eagle Day steps up in trip after placing at Southwell on his return to action and is preferred to Golden Move while the newcomer Iron Lion is worth a second glance.
