    Verdict

    King's Counsel showed nothing on his debut back in March so this looks a match between Holy Kingdom and SWIFT WING. The former comes out best at the weights as both step up in distance but John Gosden’s charge is a half-brother to The Lark, who won the Group 2 Park Hill over today’s trip, and he gets the vote with more scope for improvement than today’s rival.
