    mid-division, hanging left when not clear run on rail over 1f out, soon beaten

    In depth

    Verdict

    Central City drops down in trip after placing over 1m4f at Kempton and Hotspur Harry is upped in distance after finishing runner-up at Southwell. Cozone should be sharper on the back of a recent second at Wolverhampton and is not out of this but BAYSTON HILL has been raised only 2lb for winning over course and distance with both Kentucky Kingdom and Voi behind and Mark Usher’s charge can go in again.
