MOON KING has been a true success story this season and is now 21lb higher than when his winning spree began. He is effective on any ground and although the handicapper should have his say sooner or later, the Beckett gelding is the only member of the quartet to have tackled this trip so we'll go the well with him one more time. Glutnforpunishment is another on a winning roll and it's likely he 'll set out to make all around this turning track. Course regular Gabrial The One should give his running whilst Paradise Boy is solid but seems to be where the handicapper wants him at present, although this step-up in trip may aid his cause.
