Verdict

Rufus King was well beaten at Goodwood on Friday but has every chance on these terms and beat Dragons Tail at Ascot last month. Mark Johnston also runs Haydock winner Prestbury Park while Haddaf has a shout at the weights but has something to prove over 6f. Regulator won nicely at Ayr recently and can figure but ULSHAW BRIDGE beat a subsequent winner when scoring at York and James Bethell’s colt may come out best if handling the track.
