      Verdict

      King Francis made a winning reappearance at Kempton but ran a shocker when favourite on fast going at Yarmouth last time. SPIRIT MIXER (NAP) was scoring for the third time on Turf when successful at Salisbury recently but is unexposed on the all-weather and looks to have leading claims raised only 2lb. Man Of Riddles completed a double over longer trips earlier in the year and Bugle Major finished closer last time but Arabian Warrior has been hard to keep right, though his yard has hit top form.
