Verdict
The Rain King had a shout at Newbury yesterday while Dundory won over a mile here in April but was beaten off today’s higher mark last time. Blue Hero does his winning at Bath and won over a longer trip at the latter track recently while BEAUTIFUL CROWN showed signs of a return to form at Lingfield. The latter landed a double over today’s trip last summer and could make a bold bid in this.
