KINGS MASQUE has been on top form this season and after another facile win last time can complete a hat-trick with Critical Path and I'm In The Pick looking distant threats. If the pick is successful in this race it will be his fourth win in five starts and the latest came on his first try over course and distance. That was an easy victory and the extra 7lbs on his back here is unlikely to stop him. Critical Path should come on for a solid reappearance and based on his maiden form looks weighted for a big run. He remains unexposed so there is always the possibility there is more to come. I'm In The Pink is given a chance in the handicap based on the pick of his results but after a couple of poor runs has a bit to prove while Make Amends has won his only start at this track but he looks a little high in the weights. This should be a straight forward assignment for Kings Masque to land a hat-trick.
